BRN Discussion Ongoing

I wonder if we'll get to know who they are being shipped to. I'm not expecting individual names but some info about the buyers such as industry classification, etc. would be a great piece of info for shareholders. FWIW

This is a solid job advert for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at BRN (1 day ago) ISO automotive qualification preferred :) The whole ad is written as if we’re on the brink of full commercialisation. Thoughts?

Hi @GStocks123
My thoughts are this position will be a massive asset to the company. With his/her skill set we’ll be paying top dollar but you get what you pay for; so hoping no whinging about allocating shares to pump up the salary.

Much needed and IMO could have got someone in for this earlier. This is very much a race for market share and if you snooze you lose.

On another note; hoping we’re involved in this with Teksun:

My Monday musings (feel free to skip if you are not into speculative dot joining):

Dr. Gregor Lenz (https://lenzgregor.com/) recently left SynSense (on good terms AFAICT from his below LinkedIn post) and co-founded a Toulouse-based start-up called Neurobus (https://neurobus.space, registered in mid-April 2023) together with serial entrepreneur Florian Corgnou, who is the new company’s CEO. Lenz is its CTO, and this is what he said about Neurobus in a LinkedIn post (see below) two weeks ago: “We’re going to build a strong European company that brings neuromorphic solutions to satellites and space!”

Dr. Simeon Bamford (https://sim.me.uk/#contact) is the start-up’s Director of Engineering & Board Member. Incidentally he was CTO of iniLabs, when Brainchip signed a joint development and marketing agreement with them way back in 2016. (On January 1, 2018, iniVation AG formally incorporated the Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) business and engineering teams of iniLabs GmbH.) He is currently a researcher in event-based perception for robotics at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa as well as a consultant for neuromorphic engineering start-ups.

Blast from the past:


Now, the question regarding Neurobus is of course: Friend or foe?

Obviously, with Gregor Lenz coming from SynSense (the other commercial application-focused iniLabs spin-off company, besides iniVation), one could readily assume that integrating some of SynSense’s neuromorphic tech (most likely Speck, the event-driven neuromorphic vision SoC) would be his first choice in developing neuromorphic solutions for space, but the fact that SynSense effectively became a Chinese company three years ago IMO would at present prove to be a rather unsurmountable obstacle to what Neurobus is aiming to achieve and to stay true to their self-proclaimed values: “Sustainable development, exchange between European countries, security for our citizens and democratic rights”. Especially in the sensitive field of defense, which is one of the application domains Neurobus lists alongside satellite communications and earth observation.

Also, how are they going to offer neuromorphic solutions for space without a commercially available neuromorphic chip/IP? 🤔 Will they just experiment with dev kits or research chips for the time being? The likes of NASA, ESA, AFRL or RAAF have been dealing directly with the relevant companies and academic institutions for their neuromorphic space experiments, so I’d suspect Neurobus is going to offer added value, a package solution so to say, which will save those customers, who do not have in-house development capabilities, time and money.

On the other hand: Does Neurobus’s value of being “European at heart” possibly signify that their neuromorphic tech is being entirely developed within Europe? Which would effectively rule out Akida? As well as Loihi? But even a potential future competitor of Brainchip such as GrAI Matter Labs, while headquartered in Europe, has an office in Silicon Valley, so would they qualify?

As for the types of event cameras that are going to be used in space, those by iniVation or by Prophesee come to mind. A European academic research group that recently modified one by iniVation for use in space is the team from DTU Space (Technical University of Denmark), whose THOR-DAVIS neuromorphic camera is currently being experimented with onboard the ISS. But wouldn’t they in turn found their own spin-off to commercialise their tech rather than licence it to a third party? 🧐

Another caveat: Gregor Lenz is also one of the co-founders of the Open Neuromorphic platform. I recall reading somewhere a while ago that some of the other members around Jason Eshraghian from UC Santa Cruz (also an Open Neuromorphic co-founder, who recently showed up in a post by @Fullmoonfever as one of the authors of a paper mistakenly listing Akida as being analog in a table surtitled “A benchmark of neuromorphic chips” - https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-338409) were dismissing Akida in their Discord chat - does anyone here happen to follow their discussions and could give us an update on whether their judgement on Akida has since changed? Or was it possibly just a case of sour grapes?

Also, could somebody with a LinkedIn account please do me a favour and scan the comments under Gregor Lenz’s and Florian Corgnou’s respective Neurobus birth announcements and check out whether or not any familiar names come up congratulating them on their baby? I am merely able to read the first couple of comments on GL’s LinkedIn page, but can neither access his co-founder’s LinkedIn page nor that of Simeon Bamford at all. Neither do I have a Twitter, pardon X account, so I can sadly no longer read any of those posts either, which could give some further hints of whether or not we could possibly be involved.

Any thoughts on Neurobus, especially from those of you tech-savvier than me, are of course very welcome…

“Or was it Gregor Lenz, who left Synsense in mid-2023 to co-found Neurobus (“At Neurobus we’re harnessing the power of neuromorphic computing to transform space technology”) and is also one of the co-founders of the Open Neuromorphic community? He was one of the few live viewers of Cristian Axenie’s January 15 online presentation on the TinyML Vision Zero San Jose Competition (where his TH Nürnberg team, utilising Akida for their event-based visual motion detection and tracking of pedestrians, had come runner-up), and asked a number of intriguing questions about Akida during the live broadcast.”




By the way, Neurobus have had a couple of interesting job openings lately, which have been online for quite a while now (https://jobs.stationf.co/companies/neurobus):



to develop “a mobile EEG headband that can decode brain signals using low-power neuromorphic AI, to monitor mental states such as fatigue or stress”


(payload for satellites)


(Gregor Lenz is an expert in that field!)

Always interesting thoughts and dot joining by all on this forum and I’m going to chip in given the researching by many on TSE linked to NDA’s, partnerships, employee movements etc

Was it TSE forum members that initiated departure of two salesman a lot quicker given highlighting Wavious and their names? Investigation then occurred by BRN management to determine fact and fiction?

You would think with both of them leaving there would be a non compete clause in their contracts but maybe BRN management didn’t think this was necessary when setting up their conditions of employment etc.

Also did the BRN BoD know that key sales , revenue etc. is coming anyway by end of 2024 / early 2025 so called Rob’s and Nandan’s bluff on leaving and the rest is history? You can always leave on good terms regardless how it ended up.

The above can and does happen with many companies and how they find out employees are looking elsewhere etc. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t when management have to make a call (if they have a choice).

Pure speculation on what happened but as Tech has said he has moved onto another challenge whether that is at Wavious or elsewhere. As always DYOR.

Have a great week !!

It does make you wonder. TSE members discover 2 key sales staff are (possibly) moonlighting on BRN or its partners. Company spokesperson denies it, and weeks later they both leave under a cloud of suspicion. Was management alerted to the alleged moonlighting by TSExers and pulled the trigger on their employment? One wonders. If anyone knows, his holiness would know , and I don’t mean Tech 😂. He’s just a naughty boy 😁
A good question for Rob and Nandan over at Wavious 😬

Hi The Pope and TheUnfairAdvantage,

it appears Wavious has been out of business since 2022 and the company’s former employees have since moved on. Intriguingly, quite a few of them ended up at Apple…


A4F10F53-54D1-4F12-8BA6-9031CD653175.jpeg



Rob Telson does have a connection to Wavious, though, but he wasn’t moonlighting - the screenshot of his LinkedIn bio taken on March 26, the day the rumour first surfaced, is evidence of his role as Strategic Advisor to Wavious from 2017-2022, concurrent with his respective full-time jobs. So his link to Wavious had never been a secret at BrainChip, it seems…

I highly suspect something is fishy with that zoominfo Wavious Employee Directory, which started the rumour, even though I am afraid I can’t explain how the names of several other (ex-) BrainChip staff and that of Mauro Diamant ended up in that directory as well. In Rob Telson’s case, there is at least a proven link to Wavious, while the company was still in business.

Nice to see Porsche across the possibilities of neuromorphic.

That'd be a nice hook up too

HERE


Federico Magno
has been Member of the
Executive Board of Porsche
Consulting since 2017.
He heads the company’s
Operations, Brand & Sales and
Development & Technology
units. He also leads the
Automotive, Aerospace and
Transportation units. Federico
Magno studied economics at
Bocconi University in Milan.

Excerpt from recent Porsche Engineering Magazine.

—MAGNO: Over the long term, additional big leaps in innovation are already in sight. Neuromorphic systems that mimic the structures and functions of the human brain could play a key role in the ongoing development of AI technologies in the future. These chip-based systems could be more efcient and faster than conventional processors, especially when processing sensory data. They could make decisions in real time—thereby rivaling even the decisiveness of humans. Systems of this nature are designed to better process complex and unstructured data of the kind found in the real world. That will shape the future of mobility, and not just in the form of fully autonomous, level 5 vehicles, but also in the way mo-bility will be organized and the new business models that will emerge as a result. At Porsche Consulting, we already use AI in a wide range of areas such as sales, development, production, and even marketing. And we know that it has the power to revolutionize business processes— at least if it’s used right. And
that, too, will take a certain amount of courage.

Give it a break please. It's not a competition. Heaven forbid you should find out you are not perfect either!!!

Was it your tired out running gag (pun intended) that gave you the bizarre idea I might see myself participating in a competition?

I know very well I am not perfect - fun fact: nobody is - but so what? Does that mean I am not allowed to comment on the umptieth silly error our company has made over the past couple of months in their communication with shareholders, potential future investors and the general public? Errors that could likely have been prevented by implementing a thorough double-checking procedure (or in case there is already one in place, by assigning someone with better proofreading skills to the job)? This issue has been raised time and again. Sadly, it has basically become a running joke itself.

I also voiced my opinion on what I perceive to be an unsatisfactory podcast format. Are you really happy with a series of prepared statements being read out verbatim from a transcript by our CEO instead of a real conversation taking place?

The way the podcast was presented (and I haven’t even touched upon the way we found out about two key employees having left the company or mentioned those weird clicking / tapping (microphone?) sounds that are audible throughout the podcast, particularly while Tony Dawe is speaking) and all those careless little mistakes in social media posts etc (such as typos, getting years wrong, mixing up the Japanese and Korean flags, uploading a wrong photo, namely that of a podcast guest’s much younger namesake, confusing conference host cities etc) do not align with the professional image that befits our company.

Luckily, the fantastic graphic design and the catchy slogans do.
