Pongy I am going to have to put-you on ignore due to your nit picking and lack of understanding which shows to me your objective is to annoy and Cleary consider yourself the best thing around.Nitpicking? Hang on, you literally wrote
hence my comment about the research partnerships they recently announced, and besides, research partnerships can of course eventually lead to the real deal. Why do you think they are doing such research in the first place?! Just for fun? Would they pick partners they could never ever imagine signing a deal with? And how about Akida in the EQXX - was that not research that could lead to the signing of an IP license?
At least we can agree on “So we continue to speculate.”
We’ll likely need quite a bit of patience, though, as the journalists who were recently shown around MB’s Future Technologies Lab, were told by MB’s neuromorphic researchers that the technology were “still in its infancy” and required “extensive testing and certification” before going into production cars, saying they were expecting the hardware to be available in the 2030s…

Which also means that BrainChip’s current advantage of already having a commercially available neuromorphic chip or IP is no longer going to be that relevant in a few years’ time. For the time being, research chips will do…
Best day of my life
Wow, aren't you a wonderful human being.. What a ridiculous and horrible thing to say to a fellow shareholder... all because you don't agree with him. If you're happy with what's going on at the minute in Brainchip, I think you are in la la land.
Absolutely! If we don't have an announcement soon, I think all hell will break loose at the AGM. You've hit is on the head, judge Sean by his own words (judge me on the financials, announcements coming imminently, these are science project I know the decision dates etc etc). Sure we've had two tiny contracts, but certainly not the type of contractors that Sean and BRN have been talking about for years. Game changing, distributive technology.....here's hoping we see something soon that actually validates this, rather than just people talking about it online and linking article after article. It can be the best thing since slice bread, but it doesn't mean much if the market does not adopt it!

Jerome Myers on LinkedIn: BrainChip’s CEO Reveals Game-Changing AI Tech at CES 2025
According to ChatGPT, a moderate estimate of savings achieved by implementing BrainChip broadly across the US alone could result in over $8 Billion in savings…
I'll never forget what Peter told me a few years ago when some of the Brainchip team were visiting China, don't leave your laptops lying around or connect through any of their networks (servers)...such trust.
Yes, I think I'm right in saying that we have 2 patents issued in China, we have been assured the process we followed would insure that any domestic (Chinese) company who attempted to steal our trade secrets would be dealt with by the CCP, that I believe came from the Chinese Patent Attorney based in Los Angeles that Brainchip engaged.
On a personal note...I wouldn't trust a Chinese company if my life depended on it, and NO I'm not a racist, I have taught many Chinese how to play golf and individually they are very nice people, it's the control the CCP has over their citizens worldwide, that's the problem...sleeper cells cover the globe, wake up to the fact that ants work as a team once the consequences are laid bare.
Have a nice evening.

I was told by a Chinese man himself while working in China that to win is the most important thing to them even if it’s against the initial agreement. I have had several products developed in China over the years and after receiving the samples I went ahead with large orders only to receive a different product. When questioned why there was a difference to the sample their response is this first one sample. I have heard of many cases over the years in many different businesses that receive the same outcome.

An IT association based in the Ukrainian city of Chernivtsi organised the AI Hills Conference that took place there on Saturday and brought together over 200 participants interested in AI.
Since one of the invited speakers happened to be a gentleman presenting on neuromorphic chips, I decided to have a closer look at the uploaded conference pictures and video, since we’ve known for over a year that Ukraine-based Data Science UA has been playing around with Akida. And bingo - the speaker did indeed represent Data Science UA!

According to my Google Lens translation, Ilya Babichev started out talking about the advantages and disadvantages of neuromorphic chips in general - the disadvantages being that precision-wise, they have yet to prove themselves more accurate than the “classic” (= von Neumann) architecture, that the software for NC has not yet caught up with the hardware and that well-defined performance benchmarks were still missing.
After introducing AKD1000, he listed at least three different use cases, namely drone detection (obviously a very important real life use case in 2025 Ukraine!), keyword detection and recognition of surface types, such as identifying areas of soil suitable for planting crops with the help of a quadcopter, in areas where forest fires and deforestation have resulted in land that can be repurposed for agriculture.
Wow, great find, Frangipani!
The plan changed...in my opinion it was a very wise move...no innovation center, no Brainchip local agent and no distribution center...funny fact...my father was born in Shanghai !

When it comes to power no one better than other. e.g tiktok take the same data whatsoever facebook, whatsapp, Instragram, twitter take from us, the only difference is that share that data with US govt while tiktok do the same with ccp.
Right now china is leader in renewables, battery, mining etc and they are far ahead of western world. In AI they are catching up fast with western world.
I am neither for china or against China but matter of fact everyone salute the rising sun. If you donot know how to adjust with that, that will be a negative.

A video going along with that paper was uploaded to YouTube yesterday:
Both paper and video relate to another paper and video published by the same Uni Tübingen authors earlier this year. At a cursory glance, at least the videos (posted about six months apart) appear to be VERY similar:

In fact, when I just tried to cursorily compare the new paper to the March 15 paper that @Fullmoonfever had linked at the time (https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-416313), I discovered that the link he had posted then now connects directly to this new paper, published on September 16, so it seems to be an updated version of the previous paper.
I did notice the addition of another co-author, though: Sebastian Otte, who used to be a PhD student and postdoc at Uni Tübingen (2013-2023) and became Professor at Uni Lübeck’s Institute for Robotics and Cognitive Systems just over a year ago, where he heads the Adaptive AI research group.
To put the results that our competitors’ neuromorphic offerings fared worse in the benchmarking tests alongside Akida somewhat into perspective:
In all fairness, it should be highlighted that Akida’s superiority was at least partly due to the fact that AKD1000 is available as a PCIe Board, whereas SynSense’s DynapCNN was connected to the PC via USB and - as the excerpt Gazzafish already posted shows - the researchers did not have direct access to a Loihi 2 edge device, but merely through a virtual machine provided by Intel via their Neuromorphic Research Cloud. The benchmarking would obviously yield better comparable results if the actual hardware used were of a similar form factor:
“Our results show that the better a neuromorphic edge device is connected to the main compute unit, e.g., as a PCIe card, the better the overall run-time.”
Anyway, Akida undoubtedly impressed the researchers, and as a result they are considering further experiments: “(…) future work could involve evaluating the system with an additional Akida PCIe card.”

In an earlier post (https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-426404), I had already mentioned that the paper’s first author, Andreas Ziegler, who is doing a PhD in robotics and computer vision at Uni Tübingen, has meanwhile completed his internship at Sony AI in Switzerland (that - as we know - partially funded the paper’s research):

Three days ago, first author Andreas Ziegler gave a talk on the recent table tennis robot research conducted at Uni Tübingenduring the Neuromorphic Vision Hackathon at ZHAW (Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften / Zurich University of Applied Sciences), where robotics and neuromorphic computing expert Yulia Sandamirskaya (ex Intel Labs) heads the Research Centre “Cognitive Computing in Life Sciences” at ZHAW’s Wädenswil campus.

While the content of his presentation is not new for those of you who already read the paper or saw the video, I thought the way he presented it was quite cool, with all the embedded videos! Have a look yourselves:
Anyway, more exposure for Akida and those favourable benchmarking results (even though it is unclear how much influence the hardware’s form factor had, see my post above).
Here are some of the presentation slides:

As mentioned previously, the additional co-author of the revised version, Sebastian Otte, who used to be a PhD student and postdoc at Uni Tübingen (2013-2023), became a professor at Uni Lübeck’s Institute for Robotics and Cognitive Systems in September 2023, where he heads the Adaptive AI research group. He also leads the University of Lübeck research team that is collaborating with Mercedes-Benz, Intel and other partners on the NAOMI4Radar project (using Loihi 2). Otte is a uni researcher who has got first-hand experience with both Akida and Loihi, and has also expressed his appreciation for both:

The other co-author named in Andreas Ziegler’s LinkedIn post, whose Master’s thesis was the initial basis for the research at Uni Tübingen that was to follow and ultimately led to the paper now accepted for ICRA 2025, is Karl Vetter, who left academia last July to work for BrainChip’s partner Neurobus (who are also partnered with Prophesee and Intel).
After winning first place at the European Defense Tech Hackathon in Paris two months ago…
Gregor Lenz, Florian Corgnou and Karl Vetter from BrainChip’s partner Neurobus were part of a team that came in firstat the European Defense Tech Hackathon, which took place in Paris over the weekend.
Their winning solution titled Automatic event-based detection and tracking of UAVs and Shahed drones in challenging lighting conditions “showcased the ground-breaking potential of neuromorphic event-based cameras (…) paving the way for smarter, faster and more efficient defense-systems”.
As you may have guessed from the mentioning of the Iranian-designed Shahed drones (which are also known by their Russian designation Geran-2), the 34 projects in total were far from being destined for storage in an ivory tower of academia: European defense company Helsing AI was a key partner of that hackathon, which was also supported by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine.
“The challenges were based on real-world problems gathered from our partners, who have delivered solutions to the frontline, from building underwater reconnaissance systems to the interception of Shahed drones and helicopters and swarm coordination in GPS-denied environments.”

Although I'm not really excited, about what I consider to be a dwindling industry (Great publicity, but) I don't think their "expecting the hardware to be available in the 2030s…" statement is a blanket one, relating to all use cases of Neuromorphic Technology, in their cars.
I think it's more likely, that that particular statement, refers to ADAS type applications.
It just doesn't make sense to me, to assume that it relates to things like voice control and infotainment type applications also, because they don't require "certification" for a start..
