A while ago, I also mentioned a system here during a business trip to Japan. When I visited a bakery, the checkout system recognized each pastry and assigned the price accordingly. The name of the system was funny too… something with “Brain.” I’ll need to check my history to find it.


Got it

This tech was used in Decathlons in China since at least 2021.

Could be us, but yeah, nah.

If you are talking about quality assurance, as in ISO 9001 and the likes, ISO certification is about the process only and can be achieved in a few months. I know first hand after developing several of them by myself (for telecommunication companies) and from being an accredited internal and external auditor for more than a decade.
I agree with that. But the 9001 is just a bonus and nice to have, so that it goes faster with other ISOs (as option in e.g. Chp. 8), as this proof has already been provided.
Which ISOs are relevant at all? from the 27000 series?

There have been multiple "likes" by brn staff on Untether Ai posts in the past, dyor

“We're talking about much more autonomous and adaptive decision making for services like on-orbit servicing,” Ge said. “[Edge computing in satellites] could enable autonomous navigation…for orbital transfer vehicles, orbital fueling, and in-space assembly.” Beachler agreed, “With AI-enabled satellites, you could have real-time collision avoidance and object recognition on the satellite, itself.”

GEN 2 improvements were made as a result of client/Industry suggestions and requirnments. Plenty of interest should turn into deals in 2025.
Same goes with PICO.

Today, numerous articles on some of the promising future technologies Mercedes-Benz is exploring were published online, after the carmaker had recently invited journalists to its Future Technologies Lab in Sindelfingen.

And of course - you guessed it - neuromorphic computing was one of them.
(I also find solar coating another interesting concept).

There was also a press release by MB itself:

German magazine auto, motor und sport published both an online article and a video on MB & neuromorphic computing earlier today (both in German) that literally confirm what I’ve been suspecting: that Mercedes-Benz is nowhere near to implementing neuromorphic technology at scale into their serial cars…




“Der Weg in die Serie ist noch weit.” - “It’s still a long way to serial cars”.

“Bis neuromorphe Chips ihren Weg ins Auto finden, wird es wohl noch einige Jahre dauern.” - “It’ll probably take a few years / It looks as if it will still take a few years until neuromorphic chips will find their way into (serial) cars.”

“Diese Technologie steht jedoch noch am Anfang und erfordert umfangreiche Tests und Zertifizierungen, bevor sie in Autos eingesetzt werden kann.”

“However, this technology is still in its infancy and requires extensive testing and certification before it can be used in cars.”

Something similar is said in the video itself around the 5 min mark.


Other articles are behind a paywall, but maybe one of you happens to be a subscriber and could check out whether there are any additional snippets of interest worth sharing?





My guess is that the next Mercedes-Benz LinkedIn post regarding NC will give us some more details about the research collaboration with HKA (Hochschule Karlsruhe) on neuromorphic cameras. Or it might be a post announcing the collaboration between Mercedes and Neurobus that I had spotted on Nov 12 (https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-441454).

Here are two more articles by journalists who attended MB’s recent Future Technologies Lab Open House. Both describe NC as a potential solution to drastically cut the energy consumption of SAE Level 4 autonomous functions and quote Mercedes-Benz engineers as saying they were expecting such neuromorphic hardware to become available in the 2030s

Yup, you read that right.

EDE94445-C5EA-48DB-90B3-FC4F57381E6B.jpeg


The exact same article can be found on the Handelsblatt website as well:




Also note that Markus Schäfer calls the MB Future Technologies Lab their early-tech kitchen - in my opinion that’s yet another hint that we won’t be seeing the visionary ideas cooked up there implemented in any serial cars about to be released…

Just because I visited this bakery 2023/2024, doesn’t mean they didn’t used it at least since 2015 in japan. Do you really believe Chinese can develop something by themselves? I literally see always Chinese tourists in exhibitions with expensive camera equipment taking photos of details of the interior and exterior of several cars 😂

The Mercedes connection shows just how long it takes to go from engagement to deals in 'new frontier' industries.
Merc is likely to be way longer than most but all the experts were way to short on their 'Edge' adoption timeframes.
Even BRN with its industry experienced staff got it wrong.
The tide seems to coming in for the Edge and 2025 should finally see it arrive.
Once we get our 1st deal over the line it's game on.

Are they using Akida ? @Frangipani

Yes, those Fraunhofer HHI researchers from the Wireless Communications and Networks Department were indeed using Akida - an Akida Raspberry Pi to be precise - for their PoC:

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-424624

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-424657

I’ve been sort of keeping an eye on them ever since.

Last week, the team showed India’s Minister of Communications and Development their neuromorphic wireless cognition demo with the help of one of their Spot robot dogs. I zoomed in on the blue flatscreen and very much liked what I saw…

… as it reminded me of a podcast I had shared here a while ago, with Slawomir Stanczak as guest (the gentleman laughing in the above picture), who is Professor for Network Information Theory at TU Berlin, Head of Fraunhofer HHI’s Wireless Communications and Networks Department as well as Coordinator of the 6G Research and Innovation Cluster (6G-RIC):

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-433491

Here is a quote from my post:

“From 17:12 min onwards, the podcast host picks up the topic of connected robotics and mentions a collaboration with Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, which is Germany’s biggest (and very renowned) university hospital, regarding the development of nursing robots and their control via 6G.

Stanczak confirms this and shares with his listeners they are in talks with Charité doctors in order to simplify certain in-hospital-processes and especially to reduce the workload on staff. Two new technological 6G features are currently being discussed: 1. collaborative robots and 2. integrated communication and sensing (ICAS).”



And today I can serve up some visuals to go along with that podcast:

1D1E269F-06A4-440D-AB05-76A46F5AF476.jpeg


An example for ICAS (Integrated Communication and Sensing) in a hospital setting:

17CA7181-142C-4A35-8EA2-5F231E06840D.jpeg


The Digicare Project 2030 even has its own website with lots of intriguing information (German only).


The agenda below not only lists Fraunhofer HHI’s Zoran Utkovski giving a talk on “Next-generation AI: Neuromorphic Computing and its Applications”, but also two other interesting presentations by NXP (ML for smart sensors as part of remote monitoring of cardiovascular patients) and Infineon (Next-generation cardiovascular monitoring: continuous non-invasive blood pressure estimation with the help of radar sensors).

FCE6BEFA-CB26-432C-B092-BECAC5A73F72.jpeg



More details about connected and collaborative robotics in healthcare and about cognition and sensors in wireless networks (some of it was already featured in the podcast…)

3BB87AF3-A75E-46F3-8F04-56F79AF447FB.jpeg



Use Case 1: Autonomous cleaning robots in healthcare facilities

Use Case 2: Intelligent patient monitoring using wearable sensors and in-hospital camera technology that continuously measure vital parameters

Use Case 3: Virtual morning rounds by means of telepresence robotics

Use Case 4: Automated medication logistics with IoT

Use Case 5: Personalised room control and automated healing architecture

Use Case 6: Intelligent workforce management through IoT and AI



While there is no guarantee that Akida will be part of Fraunhofer HHI’s future neuromorphic research, they are definitely an institution to keep an eye on, even if they only let us have a peak preview as to how NC can one day be utilised in a hospital setting.

Denso just partnered with Quadric - https://www.eenewseurope.com/en/denso-seals-quadric-deal-for-risc-v-ai-core/
It's a shame we missed out here considering there was talk about Denso a few years ago - https://brainchip.com/brainchip-takes-wheel-edge-computing-world/
And considering that we already have a partnership with Megachips who have an equity stake in Quadric.

The silver lining is that Tata Elxsi are working with Denso on medical devices which we should be involved with - https://www.tataelxsi.com/news-and-...cs-and-automation-innovation-lab-in-frankfurt

Nice, is that the South Korean connection ? 3 models, that sounds very much like AKIDA -E, AKIDA-S, and AKIDA-P

"On-Device without the internet" (sounds like a quote from my mate himself...Peter}

Gauss is multimodal............which we have been since 2020 (from memory)

Able to perform all 5 modals of human sensory.....that being, Vision, Hearing, Feeling, Tasting and Smelling.

Here's a fair question for all shareholders to ponder over, why is our Top-20 now full of Institutions, apart from ex staff and a few
public true believers ?


Because the element of expectation is nearing.

Final question, why hasn't Sean delivered his Investor Update after the release of the 3rd quarter with Tony pumping him with
questions.....I haven't actually asked Tony yet, but consistency is paramount.....Sean, what's the hold up ?


Cheers and goodnight from the Far North of Kiwiland.......Tech🤓
Yeh you'd hope that it's something, because if not, it again shows the complete lack of transparency and consistency with the company.

Tony Dawe would really hope that there is something brewing, because the amount of times he's stated ''It's imminent'' over the past year is quite ludicrous. He's actually taking the piss if anything.

Yes Mercedes (and Valeo for that matter) have put their eggs in the SDV basket. One of the advantages they cite is the ability to do over-the-air updates. I think this leaves the door open for the adoption of Akida2/TENNs, particularly while the development of the tech is ongoing.

I think that a lot of the testing of the software can be done quite quickly, but the final proof of the pudding will be in the road tests which will take some time.

Post from A Lewis
I'm as confused as the next person. When we first learnt of TENNs, it was shown as part of the Akida2 silicon SoC IP, ie, hardware.

Now Tony Lewis refers to "Our cutting-edge combination of event-based hardware and the TENNS model".

There has been the speculation (mostly on my part) that it could be used as software to preform AI functions, ie, as AI software to run on a CPU/GPU/MPU/MCU processor.

Another alternative is that Tony has used the term "model" in its common usage, rather than its specialized AI meaning, so the job would be working on improving/developing the hardware/architecture of TENNs. This is improbable as the job is for ML experts, not hardware experts.

So is he talking about a model for use with a TENNs processor, or is TENNs a model simpliciter?

Given that we have been told of TENNs working alone (without Akida2), I'm going for TENNs as an AI processor, and the job is developing models for the TENNs AI processor.
