My speculation is that Ken will sign the contract with Valeo. 🤑🤑🤑

My Opinion only

Robot Ken, was/is a robot representation of BrainChip's CFO Ken "Robot" Scarince.

Must have been his idea?

He was a marketing mascot (there was even a limited edition run of "Robot Ken" T-shirts, which added significantly to one of our quarterlies bottom line.

He seemed to have been abandoned somewhat, when BrainChip "grew up" it's image a bit..

But now he's back!

With upgraded orange highlights, to match BrainChip's change in marketing colours, from predominantly blue.

Not sure, why they would be using him now?..
Orange is the colour of the astronauts suit on the ISS....?

Possible... but this is around since 2015 (2017 2nd generation... and some news in 2022) and nothing heard about since...🤔

On the basis of the first-generation chip developed in 2015, the second-generation Tianjic chip was released in 2017. After continuous design improvement, the current Tianjic achieves flexible functionality, high speed, and low power. Compared to the TrueNorth chip at IBM, Tianjic provides more comprehensive functionality, better flexibility/scalability, 20% higher density, ten times higher speed, and 100 times higher internal bandwidth.

This is the low down on the change in marketing directon, under our CMO at the time, Jerome Nadel, almost 2 years ago.


Basically Orange, is the "new" red, which has been used for decades, to "grab" attention.

The following is a good article, about orange, as a marketing colour.


"Orange gives you the excitement of red, but at the same time, the welcoming, friendly, warm aspect of yellow"

You can't stop, the fusion reaction, which is AKIDA.

Who is robot Ken and what do they want to tell us with this post??

Whilst I’ve never been much of a fan of Ken the robot personally, there is a lot of hype around humanoid automatons in general.
They have a deep and rich place in our psyche and pander somewhat to our anthropocentric view of the world.
I hope that “if” this is a stratagem to introduce and popularise AKIDA 2 or even 3 that it's not too childlike and dumbed down.
In competition with the likes of Boston Dynamics that video doesn't cut the mustard in either messaging or production value in my opinion.

And just what is in the packaged item on the table here??
An edge box??

I know right, like an Eskimo Pie.
But why would they go to the trouble of showing this particular item when everything else is a picture of Ken in an "exotic" location except the final image of him actually holding an Edge box?
If they are, at this point of the game, just making random shit up with no meaning, I want my money back! 🤣

It looks like Fact Finder has solved the mystery in his post over at the crapper.

The object in question being a Kellogs Rice Krispie Treat which is being surveilled by the camera apparatus above.
Or as our resident Fact Finder says........

"Last year the use of the VVDN AKIDA Edge Box which was being held in the video by Ken the Robot for retail stock control surfaced.

I seems likely that Ken the Robot is showing off AKIDA technology reading labels and identifying features for retail.

My opinion only DYOR

Seeing as we are all having a cryptic crack at decoding the clue. It is a rice krispie, so change that to Crispr technology bio sensing using neuromorphic computing. I know go back to 😴. Conspiracy Theories abound. There is such a thing actually but just having a bit of fun.

I know the RZ/V2L uses the DRP-AI but wonder if there may be the opportunity or anything in the works implementing Akida into the RZ/V2L retail use cases like the below?

Hello all,
Chinese Toanjic chip, competition?
Hi SS,

Looks like Tianjic uses analog NN for audio. It also uses CNN (MAC-based) for video and something else for control.


A hybrid and scalable brain-inspired robotic platform | Scientific Reports (nature.com)


1713840042496.png


For each module, we opened independent data paths, which were distinct in information representation, frequency and throughput. In the visual module, each frame of video was resized to a 70 × 70 gray image and fed into a CNN as multi-bit values, enabling rich environmental spatial information to be maintained with limited computing resources (Fig. 3a). In contrast, the raw audio stream was transformed into binary spike trains in the auditory module. After end-point detection32,33, the key frequency features were obtained by taking the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC)34. A Gaussian population35 was used to encode each MFCC feature into spike trains as input to a three-layer fully-connected SNN (Fig. 3b). For motion control, sequential signals were first generated by functional cores to merge with the steering commands from other modules as the comprehensive target angle. Data from all sensors were then integrated via the MLP network for angle control (Fig. 3d). The designs and training of each network-based module are described in the Methods.

Tianjic uses different technologies to handle visual and audio. Akida can handle both.

They use 1-bit analog for audio which is very efficient but not so hot on accuracy. Akida can do 1-bit up to 8-bit inputs (256 values).

1713840368237.png


Tianjic needs a separate FPGA for pre-processing input signals. Akida has built-in preprocessing.

So, competition? - Yes.

Worried? - No,

I do know that a number of years ago (some) Brainchip staff visited China, I do know of one of the team, but no names will be mentioned.

We were looking at setting up an office. that could be the wrong word, but decided to pull the pin on China, we do or did have a Chinese
Counsel in Los Angeles representing us, probably around the time we were awaiting our 1 and only Patent registered in China.

I do know the team were told not to leave any laptops lying around or hook up to any Wi-Fi or Internet while visiting China.


The golden rule is...Never trust Evil.........if you feel it.......it's too late.

Purely a private citizens view.
