L’IA suisse de Nviso rend empathique un robot compagnon de Panasonic
Les algorithmes de deep learning de Nviso, spin-off de l’EPFL, sont embarqués dans le robot compagnon Nicobo de Panasonic, dans le cadre d’un accord de licence pluriannuel.
Translation:
An EPFL spin-off specializing in the recognition of facial expressions for the analysis of emotions, Nviso announces that it has signed a multi-year license agreement with Panasonic. In this context, the Human Behavioral Analytics AI software solution will equip the Nicobo companion robot from the Japanese manufacturer.
Based on deep learning, the applications provided to Panasonic by Nviso take care, in real time, of face tracking, identification of the position of the head, but also facial recognition and emotions. These artificial intelligence applications are specially designed for hardware platforms within companion robots that must be limited in resources (battery consumption). These can thus operate permanently without an internet connection, underlines Nviso in its press release. The French-speaking company adds that unlike cloud solutions, its own does not require information to be sent off the device to be processed, which helps protect user privacy and security.
“Over the past two years, we have worked with the development team at Panasonic to realize a vision to help people live healthier and happier lives at home through smart, caring devices. Our engineering team delivered an excellent visual intelligence solution to meet the demanding power, cost, and performance needs of high-volume mass processing platforms demanded by manufacturers like Panasonic,” says Tim Llewellynn, CEO of Nviso.

It is important to read the above article together with the press release about the Nviso Brainchip partnership and note the statement of past fact not future fact with regards to whether the two technologies are compatible. Nviso and Brainchip have clearly been working together for some time.
EAP customers were first being announced by Brainchip about 2 years ago now. Nviso has been working with Panasonic for two years:
19th April, 2022
Lausanne, Switzerland & Laguna Hills, Calif. – April 19, 2022 – BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial producer of neuromorphic AI IP and chips, and NVISO SA (NVISO), the leading human behavioral analytics AI company, today announced a collaboration targeting battery-powered applications in robotics and mobility/automotive to address the need for high levels of AI performance with ultra-low power technologies. The initial effort will include implementing NVISO’s AI solutions for Social Robots and In-cabin Monitoring Systems on BrainChip’s Akida™ processors.Developers of automotive and consumer technologies are striving for devices that better respond to human behavior—which requires tools and applications to interpret human behavior captured from cameras and sensors on devices. However, these environments can be constrained by limited compute performance, power consumption, and cloud connectivity lapses. Akida addresses these weaknesses with high performance and ultra-low power (micro- to milliwatts) as well as by performing AI/ML processing of vision/image, motion, and sound data directly on devices, instead of in a remote cloud. Since information is not sent off-device, user privacy and security are also protected.
NVISO’s technology is uniquely able to analyze signals of human behavior such as facial expressions, emotions, identity, head poses, gaze, gestures, activities, and objects with which users interact. In robotics and in-vehicle applications, human behavior analytics detect the user’s emotional state to provide personalized, adaptive, interactive, safe devices and systems. The result of the collaboration between NVISO and BrainChip is expected to enable more advanced, more capable, and more accurate AI on consumer products.
“Our work with BrainChip will support AI’s demanding power/cost/performance needs for OEMs, even at mass production and scale, so they can benefit from faster and more efficient development cycles,” said Tim Llewellynn, CEO of NVISO. “Ultra-low power edge-based consumer processing is expected to deliver a more intelligent and individualized user experience, and we believe running our AI solutions for Social Robots and In-cabin Monitoring Systems on Akida will provide a competitive edge for joint customers demanding always-on features on low power budgets.”
“NVISO’s human behavioral analytics AI systems offer fascinating possibilities in homes, cars, buildings, hospitals, and more, and we’re enthusiastic about supporting these functions with BrainChip’s processing performance and energy efficiency,” said Sean Hehir, BrainChip CEO. “This is not only a collaboration between two companies, it’s advancing the state of the art in AI with platforms for edge AI devices to interpret human behavior, improving product performance and user experience.”
BrainChip’s first-to-market neuromorphic processor, Akida, mimics the human brain to analyze only essential sensor inputs at the point of acquisition, processing data with unparalleled efficiency, precision, and economy of energy. Keeping AI/ML local to the chip, independent of the cloud, also dramatically reduces latency while improving privacy and data security.”

Over the last two years I have had an ongoing complaint which I have taken up privately with Brainchip and it related to the continuing failure of the system to provide me with ongoing receipt of news and information via email.
No matter how many times I registered and how many times their tech people claimed it was now resolved. Because of the 1,000 Eyes I was not disadvantaged however I am pleased to say it now finally appears to have been resolved.
As no one else has complained I have assumed it was my problem entirely but if you too have had problems in this regard I suggest you go to Brainchip’s website and register again to receive updates and newsletters.
To celebrate I have posted the latest email notification I have received. Fingers crossed it will be the first of many:

On Monday, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported that Volkswagen has agreed to partner with U.S.-based Qualcomm to develop self-driving vehicles. Volkswagen Chief Executive Officer Herbert Diess reportedly visited the San Diego-based technology firm last month to finalize the deal, which will provide the automaker with access to Qualcomm’s so-called “system-on-a-chip” (SoC) technology.
Qualcomm’s SoC technology is used in its “Snapdragon Ride Platform,” which the firm hopes will play a crucial role in the roll-out of autonomous vehicles in the coming years. According to this week’s report, partnering with Qualcomm was an interesting choice, as it was assumed Volkswagen would use technology firm Mobileye instead, seeing as Mobileye is already providing Volkswagen with its “Travel Assist” technology.
The Qualcomm-Volkswagen contract will reportedly last until 2031, and the first semiconductor chips are expected to be delivered in 2025. While specific financial information was not disclosed, it is estimated that the partnership will cost Volkswagen upwards of $1 billion.
The German automaker reportedly declined to comment on the matter, but reports say it is also holding discussions with Qualcomm for its next operating system, which will be called VW.os.
Qualcomm is a popular partner for automakers, as Stellantis, BMW, and General Motors have also entered into agreements with the firm at some point. Other automakers such as Mercedes-Benz have instead partnered with Nvidia and other firms to obtain much-needed semiconductor chips.
