BrainChip and Socionext expect Akida silicon in Q3

This from Apr 2020, so could that mean that Socionext has something to offer with Akida already built in?

Morning everyone, have a great day ❤

Very weird BRN released this news so early, this sort of tells me we ain’t go get much news/revenue before the AGM, so are they are trying to soften the blow? Hope I’m wrong

NASA Successfully Tests Autonomous Moon Rovers​

The CADRE rovers are destined for a future CLPS commercial payload mission.

After decades of ignoring the lunar surface, NASA and other space agencies are again trying to land on Earth's natural satellite. NASA's Artemis program aims to return humans to the Moon in the next few years, but it's not going to be a quick visit like Apollo. The agency hopes to lay the foundations for a long-term human presence this time, and that means we need to collect data on lunar conditions with modern technology. As part of that initiative, NASA is designing a swarm of semi-autonomous lunar rovers called CADRE (Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration). After building the first engineering prototypes last year, the agency has full-scale development models online and running tests at JPL's Mars Yard.
The solar-powered robots are designed to be compact and relatively cheap, featuring two stereo cameras, navigation sensors, and a ground-penetrating radar module. They're about the size of a skateboard, and they won't require constant attention at JPL. The CADRE rovers are being designed with short-range mesh networking, allowing them to cooperate to complete a task without human oversight. That's the aspect JPL is currently assessing.
NAS says that two full-scale test rovers have been trundling around the Mars Yard for the last few weeks. JPL set up this location to replicate the surface of Mars for testing Curiosity, Perseverance, and other robots destined for the red planet. However, the sandy pit strewn with pointy rocks is also a good way to test any robot that needs to traverse the harsh surface of another world.
Since they don't need human controllers to make every decision, the team will be able to point the rovers to a region and let them handle all the exploration automatically. The rovers successfully maintained communication as they moved in tandem around the yard. They were able to split tasks between them and adjust their plans when faced with unexpected obstacles. Previously, engineers put the engineering models inside a thermal vacuum chamber to ensure they could withstand the harsh environment on the Moon.


Getting the rovers to the Moon may be the greatest remaining challenge. Since these robots are designed to be advanced scouts, they can't wait for NASA's large-scale Artemis missions with the Space Launch System. CADRE will instead head to the Moon aboard a Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) mission. The current plan is to send the rovers up with Intuitive Machines 3 (IM-3) in 2025. Unfortunately, that does not guarantee success.

Most recent attempts to land softly on the Moon have failed in one way or another. Intuitive Machines recently flubbed the IM-1 landing, leaving the lander tipped on its side. Japan's SLIM lander also ended up askew, sitting on its nose instead of the landing feet. And then there's CLPS Peregrine lander, which suffered a fuel leak and wasn't even able to reach the Moon. If the CADRE swarm makes it to the surface, NASA expects them to operate for one lunar day, which is about 14 Earth days.

Did someone say "rovers"?

Remember this discovery from 2022? Does this mean we're going to hitch a ride to the Moon in 2025 with Intuitive Machines 3 (IM-3)?

Autonomous driving on the moon has many advantages. They can test the full spectrum and potential without having to consider the dangers of earthly traffic. It does make sense. However, it's again just an "image" thing and won't bring us the revenue we need for sustainable growth. But, still interesting.

I beg to differ on the potential revenue side of things @7für7. Due to our ongoing partnership with NASA, I beleive there's roughly a 99.999% chance that AKIDA will also be integrated NASA's HPSC (High-Performance Spaceflight Computer) chip which is being built by Microchip utilising SiFive's 'Intelligence' X280 core.

NASA has stated previously that initial availability will be sometime in 2024 and the chip won't just be for space missions but will also be utilised in application on Earth such as defense, commercial aviation, robotics and medical equipment which should hopefully and conceivably translate into

Check the date.
You can go back to bed now.

Yes would be nice! Let’s see

 

[rgupta]

this is all getting out of hand. I thought I was investing in a meme stock. I am very concerned this could become a lot more. I am not going to renew my MF subscription!!!

I don't know how much you believe in MF but to me they are only a loss making proposition for new investors and experience investor donot care what they say!
It is a ring of mafia where price of a stock rise in 10 mins and if you are late to enter or exit you will repent for longer terms.

Yes, but how nice to be able to advertise your e-bike or drone or digital camera with components as tested and proven by NASA on the moon!!!

Nice Dingo....including being able to be produced out of 3 different foundries, namely TSMC, Global and Intel, in different formats, NOT
forgetting more foundry/s are to be named, as per Sean Hehir.

Regards...Tech

Although there are actually many chip foundries, around the World, there are only a few major ones.

TSMC is by far the largest, by revenue.

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/semiconductor-foundry-companies-ranked/

Global Foundries is right up there too and Intel Foundry Services is only just ramping up, it's external customer base (wanting to take on TSMC).

Seeing as BrainChip, doesn't have a reputation of dealing with outliers, I'm guessing the next foundry to be announced, would have to be Samsung?..

SwRI engineers developing EW algorithm to ‘think like a human’

www.swri.org

SwRI engineers are implementing feature extraction algorithms on advanced platforms, including neuromorphic processing hardware. Neuromorphic computing systems use spiking neural networks to emulate how the human brain retains “memories,” making processing faster, more accurate and efficient.

“We are working to provide the Air Force with efficient and resilient cognitive EW solutions,” said SwRI’s Dr. Steven Harbour, who is applying his doctorate in neuroscience to lead the development of neuromorphic systems. “We are implementing neuromorphics in hardware to be used for the first time in an operational combat environment. It puts us well ahead of our adversaries. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first in the world to do this.”

Unfortunately this is with Intel and not Brainchip

Algorithms are main part of ai and they are based upon experiences that is why human brain have best algorithms coz it has the best experiences.

 

[CHIPS]

Does not look like it connects to the internet, but it DOES. Where is the battery? Where is the engine? Makes no noise.

SNN with low power would be perfect for Ebikes.

In Germany, you would ask where are the lights at the front and rear? No lights on both ends no permission to use it on public roads.
