Aeva + Arteris, so they would be aware of what Brainchip have to offer thru Mr Viana.
Just saying.

Arteris Announces 4D LiDAR Pioneer Aeva as its 200th Customer - Arteris

Aeva Technologies, Inc., has licensed Arteris IP FlexNoC interconnect IP for its next-generation digital processing system-on-chip (SoC).

www.arteris.com

Also on a couple of other points, they are backed in by Denso ( 2nd Largest Automotive Supplier in the world ) + ZF ( 5th Largest )
Toyota own 25% of Denso.
Also backed in by Porsche. Porsche have the controlling vote within the Volkswagen Group.
Appreciate that they're down on the list, but definitely one to keep an eye on.

I am all in favour of what you are suggesting that Brainchip and AKIDA technology might get called in to assist Aeva but my point was not contrary to this but that AKIDA is not competing with Aeva or any other player in LiDAR Valeo is the one competing and so far it has dominated and leads the market and with AKIDA onboard has taken a quantum leap on every other competitor in this space that does not have the AKIDA technology advantage.

Brainchip is a facilitator not a competitor open to anyone to take on board.

REMEMBER the goal is for Brainchip’s technology to become the default standard - CEO Sean Hehir 2022.

Imec Builds World’s First Spiking Neural Network-Based Chip for Radar Signal Processing​

Flagship use-case includes the creation of a smart, low-power anti-collision radar system for drones that identifies approaching objects in a matter of milliseconds
LEUVEN (Belgium), April 28, 2020 — Imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, today presents the world’s first chip that processes radar signals using a spiking recurrent neural network. Mimicking the way groups of biological neurons operate to recognize temporal patterns, imec’s chip consumes 100 times less power than traditional implementations while featuring a tenfold reduction in latency – enabling almost instantaneous decision-making. For example, micro-Doppler radar signatures can be classified using only 30 μW of power. While the chip’s architecture and algorithms can easily be tuned to process a variety of sensor data (including electrocardiogram, speech, sonar, radar and lidar streams), its first use-case will encompass the creation of a low-power, highly intelligent anti-collision radar system for drones that can react much more effectively to approaching objects.
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have already proven their worth in a wide range of application domains. They are a key ingredient, for instance, of the radar-based anti-collision systems commonly used in the automotive industry. But ANNs come with their share of limitations. For one, they consume too much power to be integrated into increasingly constrained (sensor) devices. Additionally, ANNs’ underlying architecture and data formatting requires data to undertake a time-consuming journey from the sensor device to the AI inference algorithm before a decision can be made. Enter spiking neural networks (SNNs).
“Today, we present the world’s first chip that processes radar signals using a recurrent spiking neural network,” says Ilja Ocket, program manager of neuromorphic sensing at imec.

“SNNs operate very similarly to biological neural networks, in which neurons fire electrical pulses sparsely over time, and only when the sensory input changes. As such, energy consumption can significantly be reduced. What’s more, the spiking neurons on our chip can be connected recurrently – turning the SNN into a dynamic system that learns and remembers temporal patterns. The technology we are introducing today is a major leap forward in the development of truly self-learning systems.”

Imec’s novel chip was initially designed to support electrocardiogram (ECG) and speech processing in power-constrained devices. Yet thanks to its generic architecture that features a completely new digital hardware design, it can also easily be reconfigured to process a variety of other sensory inputs like sonar, radar and lidar data. Contrary to analog SNN implementations, imec’s event-driven digital design makes the chip behave exactly and repeatedly as predicted by the neural network simulation tools.
Use-case: a smarter, low-power anti-collision system for drones (and cars)
The drone industry – even more than the automotive sector – works with constrained devices (e.g. limited battery capacity) that need to react quickly to changes in their environment in order to appropriately react to approaching obstacles.
“Hence, a flagship use-case for our new chip includes the creation of a low-latency, low-power anti-collision system for drones. Doing its processing close to the radar sensor, our chip should enable the radar sensing system to distinguish much more quickly – and accurately – between approaching objects. In turn, this will allow drones to nearly instantaneously react to potentially dangerous situations,” says Ilja Ocket. “One scenario we are currently exploring features autonomous drones that depend on their on-board camera and radar sensor systems for in-warehouse navigation, keeping a safe distance from walls and shelves while performing complex tasks. This technology could be used in plenty of other use-cases as well – from robotics scenarios to the deployment of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) and even health monitoring.”
“This chip meets the industry’s demand for extremely low-power neural networks that truly learn from data and enable personalized AI. For its creation, we rallied experts from various disciplines within imec – from the development of training algorithms and spiking neural network architectures that take neuroscience as a basis, to biomedical and radar signal processing and ultra-low power digital chip design. That is where imec really makes a difference,” Kathleen Philips, program director of IoT cognitive sensing at imec, concludes.

I sometimes get caught up in the whole idea of is this company or that company a competitor to Brainchip but I have to learn to pull myself up and no longer think in these terms.

Brainchip has in human terms made itself an agnostic. It has no allegiance to any processor or sensor type. It is promoting itself as a non aligned universal solution to any edge compute problem.

Why am I raising this because just now after our discussion of SiFive and Brainchip taking on ARM I was reminded of the following:

(Sorry something went wrong with link but it’s an easy Google search to find ARM Ai Ecosystem partner Renesas)

Renesas is an ARM Ai ecosystem partner. Brainchip is aligned with Renesas through the licence of its IP.

I must revert my thinking to a couple of years ago where I equated AKIDA technology to the simple self tapping metal screw. There are tens of billions perhaps trillions of these tiny screws in products around the world most of these products being in fierce competition one with the other for market share but all buying the same screws from different suppliers.

Renesas is an ARM Ai ecosystem partner and uses AKIDA Ai and ARM promotes Renesas.

SiFive is partnered with Brainchip and uses AKIDA Ai.

AWS is an ARM Ai Ecosystem partner. (for MC)

Brainchip is actually very much like an international arms dealer selling to both sides of any conflict completely unaligned.

In the end regardless of who wins the arms dealer wins. The same applies to Brainchip. ARM and Renesas crush SiFive Brainchip wins. SiFive crushes ARM Brainchip wins. They fight each other to a draw. Brainchip wins.

I'm hoping FF, that you are absolutely and perfectly correctly, ( ON THE MONEY ), so to speak, with these thoughts and insights, that my own, tiny, BRAIN ( insert - AKIDA 3000, possibly ) can absorb, sufficiently, YET, I'm learning still? all of the time.

Having said that, I'm now wondering what is the currency involved here, being ( On the Money ), and whether or not in fact we have, or are developing our own currency that will allow this transition to become the standard for quite some time into the future.

I hope this makes sense, because I'm trying not to ramble, but this sometimes is difficult for me.

There is a certain VIBE I'm feeling at the moment and has been with me for a number of weeks. Please may it not diminish

I've also, just gotta say, that these findings, made by all of the magnificent contributors on these threads, I find just so enthralling and compelling, exactly, like my investment in this amazing Company Brainchip.

A very compelling post indeed FF, so many other compelling posts emerging so often now. I'm really excited for the future. Just so many thought provoking contributors evident on a daily basis.

LONG MAY THEY CONTINUE IMHO.

‘It takes two to tango’

The 1000 eyes and ears continue to feed us with all sorts of associations and scenarios to dine on. This weekend, I would like to pose a question and make a comment for all in TSE land to consider.

The question…given the impact on our stock price of the Mercedes Benz press release, what do you think a price sensitive announcement via the ASX would have, if it advised that an Internationally known and respected organisation (let’s say Samsung) has licensed Akida?

The comment…me myself personally believes that our battler has reached a stage where they can and should offer more information to stockholders via 4C’s, without contravening NDA’s and other confidentiality agreements. Eg…the recent quarterly should have outlined how many of each of the three development boards were sold and how many are on order. Similarly, the time for statements like ‘explosion in sales’ should end, and be replaced by sober forecasts of what the company anticipates in the next quarter and the next year. For instance, from quarter to quarter, we should be told simple things like accounts receivable. Apart from anything else, this would reveal if any license revenue was expected in the coming quarter, without breaching any confidentiality agreements.

Our CEO has suggested we watch the financials…c’mon Sean, it takes two to tango.

The problem is BRN don't actually produce/manufacture/market/sell any final applications. Revenue is based on sales by others through licencing agreements. What you are asking BRN to do is set themselves up to fail and cop further abuse from ill informed shareholders if the sober forecasts aren't met.

BRN are active in helping others bring their applications to market so they know a groundswell of applications using Akida is growing. They don't know when because nobody has told them. We do know Mercedes will be selling vehicles containing Akida technology in 2024. As I've said before, NASA is a nice to have customer but not mass market where the vast majority of revenue will come from.

Personally I’m happy with the Brainchip management. My view is they are the professionals in their relevant positions and they are doing the best that they can to get customers/sales.

To put it into context: my son’s in the building trade: I’m not. I don’t tell him how to build and he doesn’t tell me how to do my job.

The SP is secondary and will follow the sales. They are just starting the commercialisation phase. I am expecting that in a few years there will be massive sales/royalties flowing and the SP will be many multiples of where it is. We have the easy part of just having to wait for it to happen!

This conversation about disclosure has been done to death. NDA’s are a vital part of the industry and need to be respected for the successful advantage the client can achieve which will make Brainchip more successful as well.

A neural network circuit for providing a threshold weighted sum of input signals comprises at least two arrays of transistors with programmable threshold voltage, each transistor storing a synaptic weight as a threshold voltage and having a control electrode for receiving an activation input signal. Additionally, for each array of transistors, a reference network associated therewith, which provides a reference signal to be combined with the positive or negative weight current components of the transistors of the associated array, the reference signal having opposite sign compared to the weight current components of the associated array, thereby providing the threshold of the weighted sums of the currents. Further, at least one bitline is configured to receive the combined positive and/or negative current components, each combined with their associated reference signals.

Great find Iseki. This is the full package MB are currently working on to be implemented in 2024. EQXX is only part of it.

In the field of digitisation, we focus on the seamless integration and harmonisation of software and electronics. This includes the development of innovative products and services aimed at customers' needs. The next big step in this regard is our internally developed operating system MB.OS as a direct interface for customer-experience features, which will become the basis for all future Mercedes-Benz vehicles as a unique and standard software platform. The MB.OS operating system will perfectly link the vehicles with the cloud and the IoT, and comprise four central domains: Powertrain, Autonomous Driving, Infotainment and Body & Comfort Systems.

They intend to implement it into every new model from 2024. Internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric. MB will stop producing new models of ICE vehicles after 2025. They'll continue to manufacture them while demand remains but only make minor updates. What I think will happen is MB will release new models for their entire ICE range in 2024/25 so every vehicle has the new MB.OS operating system moving forward.

My guess is Akida technology could be on up to 20 chips per car for an ICE vehicle and 40-50 chips on an electric vehicle. In an electric vehicle, it wouldn't surprise me if Akida technology was used in all four central domains. MB make 2.5m vehicles per year. Not a bad little royalty earner.

Hi @Proga,

I would love to hear more about how you arrived at the 40-50 Akida chips in an electric vehicle. I tried to break it down a bit this morning but got a bit lost.

I started with the obvious use case for Akida such as voice control and the use cases listed on the BrainChip website which include mechanical related looseness, gearbox faultiness, electric motor failure, component misalignment, lubrication issues. And then there's all of the chips that would be required for the cameras, and for driver monitoring, etc. Plus the chips for ADAS like Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist.

What really blew me away was this blog on the Samsung website which says "It is forecast that by 2022, when we will see the first true level 3 (conditional autonomous) and higher self-driving vehicles on the streets, these vehicles will need somewhere around 2,000 semiconductor chips a piece.Obviously, it would be wishful thinking to think that all 2000 chips would be Akida as not all of them would need to be smart, but 40-50 sounds entirely feasible!

Hi Bravo,

Wild arse educated guess. There is no way of knowing. It could be conservative. I tried to figure it out months ago but like you .

Just wanted to point out there will be multiple chips per car when thinking revenue. Royalties will be a multiple per vehicle.

 

[Diogenese]

Could we have that in colloquial speak please Diogenese. Is the Imec a realistic competitor to Akida?

Hi Dave,

Being sensor-agnostic, Akida is a jack-of all-trades, so it will be bumping into competition in many different applications.

However, Akida's versatility gives it significant advantages over single-purpose devices.

Analog circuits mimicking neurons are a truer imitation of living neurons than digital "neurons", but they are much more susceptible to the the manufacturing variations inherent in semiconductor manufacture.

Each analog neuron adds the currents from thousands of input analog neurons. While a few percent variation in current/voltage has no effect on a digital circuit, the accumulated errors in an analog circuit accumulating hundreds of analog signals can cause errors. A digital circuit only needs to know if the voltage is above or below a threshold voltage and the signal level is large compared with any errors caused by manufacturing variations.

In addition, analog neurons are not as versatile or amenable to adaptation and reconfiguration as Akida.

So, while Imec may have overcome the manufacturing variations to make their radar analysis circuit, this will be a one-off design, while Akida has a one-size-fits-all approach which can be readily adapted for use in innumerable applications, in contrast to the analog neurons which have to be redesigned for different applications. This gives Akida a significant advantage in volume production.

 

[Iseki]

Yes, I think this scenario is very likely and whilst it will be intimidating to some it may be liberating for others. This close interaction of AGI and what remains of humanity is explored in much of science fiction. Recommend the works of Neal Asher and his "Polity" series in which certain implications are investigated, particularly the role people may play in a future dominated by intelligences unhindered by our glacial and biological evolution.
This is, in part, why I am happy to be invested in our Company, engendered by PVDM and his eye to the beneficial uses of our technology.
Undoubtedly, over time, myriad and disparate (some of dubious morality) applications will ensue, but I take heart that beneficence was also present in the DNA of its creation. At least for our types of sentience much behaviour is attributable to early influences and I am pleased to be a part of and supporter of Brainchip with its recognition of such matters.
I see AGI as inevitable and we as a link of the chain in its genesis.

‘It takes two to tango’

The 1000 eyes and ears continue to feed us with all sorts of associations and scenarios to dine on. This weekend, I would like to pose a question and make a comment for all in TSE land to consider.

The question…given the impact on our stock price of the Mercedes Benz press release, what do you think a price sensitive announcement via the ASX would have, if it advised that an Internationally known and respected organisation (let’s say Samsung) has licensed Akida?

The comment…me myself personally believes that our battler has reached a stage where they can and should offer more information to stockholders via 4C’s, without contravening NDA’s and other confidentiality agreements. Eg…the recent quarterly should have outlined how many of each of the three development boards were sold and how many are on order. Similarly, the time for statements like ‘explosion in sales’ should end, and be replaced by sober forecasts of what the company anticipates in the next quarter and the next year. For instance, from quarter to quarter, we should be told simple things like accounts receivable. Apart from anything else, this would reveal if any license revenue was expected in the coming quarter, without breaching any confidentiality agreements.

Our CEO has suggested we watch the financials…c’mon Sean, it takes two to tango.

Our CEO Sean Hehir if you listen closely to his last presentation was asked about forward earnings predictions and answered that they did not do that yet but it is a matter which the Board has agreed to revisit at the beginning of 2023 to determine if it is still the correct policy. (These are not his precise words but the meaning I took away.)

So I would say in answer to your discussion point we are not running the company.

The company is run for the shareholders.

If shareholders do believe the Board and key management are not up to the job they can initiate proceedings to bring on an extraordinary meeting and fix the problem they see.

If I recall the numbers correctly you can use your 5% of the shares on issue or get 99 shareholders regardless of how many shares they hold, to vote with you and call such a meeting.

The thing is however there are quite a few sophisticated shareholders in the Top 20 holding individually or in combination with more than five percent of the shares on issue and I do not see them expressing dissatisfaction with how the Board and key management are running the company.

So I suspect even if you are truly this disturbed and exercised this right that you would not get anywhere.

All you will do is waste company resources on a non existent issue.

Clearly I do not see any merit in your proposal my good friend Realnfo so I will not be one of the needed 99 to make up the 100.

So I would say in answer to your discussion point we are not running the company.

The company is run for the shareholders.

If shareholders do believe the Board and key management are not up to the job they can initiate proceedings to bring on an extraordinary meeting and fix the problem they see.

If I recall the numbers correctly you can use your 5% of the shares on issue or get 99 shareholders regardless of how many shares they hold, to vote with you and call such a meeting.

The thing is however there are quite a few sophisticated shareholders in the Top 20 holding individually or in combination with more than five percent of the shares on issue and I do not see them expressing dissatisfaction with how the Board and key management are running the company.

So I suspect even if you are truly this disturbed and exercised this right that you would not get anywhere.

All you will do is waste company resources on a non existent issue.

Clearly I do not see any merit in your proposal my good friend Realnfo so I will not be one of the needed 99 to make up the 100.

AKIDA BALLISTA

100% agree with your statements FF. The board have done exactly what they have said they would do at every step. They have my complete backing.

Do we know whether NASA is using AKIDA in their e-nose? It should be due to go into production shortly. This says the sensor array chips are swappable and can be replaced with "improved sensors".

The ability to quickly and cost-effectively screen people for COVID-19 is an essential part of addressing the ongoing pandemic, and NASA is leveraging its

Not sure you are correct about going into production soon as they say in the article you post FDA trials are not completed perhaps not even started:

“ The sensor array chips are swappable, and therefore can be updated with improved sensors as more is discovered about SARS-CoV-2's VOCs. E-Nose will be ready to move into production for clinical trials after a field test specifically for its COVID-19 version.”

See “Into production for clinical trials” above.

This puts them a long way behind NaNose even if the trials have started.

Did much eventuate from the 2016 Joint Development and Marketing Agreement with Allied Brain Research?

Looks like they are into autonomous drones and the wording “exclusively onboard processing” caught my eye
