BrainChip Holdings Ltd, the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, brain-inspired AI, has officially announced a whole new lineup of partners who are developing revolutionary technology demonstrations and products with the Akida™ Edge AI Box.
In case you weren’t aware, Akida™ Edge AI Box happens to be a compact, cutting-edge appliance which provides AI/ML processing power to support a wide variety of markets, such as manufacturing, warehouse, retail, hospitals, energy, automotive, and aviation. More on that would reveal how this particular technology actually makes for an embedded Linux solution with Ethernet, Bluetooth, and USB interfaces.
The stated integration treads up a long distance to let its underlying innovation provide a complete edge AI computing platform based on Brainchip’s Akida AKD1000 IC.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the solution’s pledge to put BrainChip’s event-based neural processing, capable of closely mimicking the learning ability of the human brain, into energy-efficient, portable hardware. This it does to deliver powerful AI computing performance level, a level which has consistently showed to exceed market standards for edge AI computing appliances.
Here, Dual Akida processors also step in to seamlessly perform on-chip learning, independent of the cloud, for application security, reduced training overhead, and faster learning.
Beyond its technological brilliance, the solution also offers the prospect of substantial cost efficiency. In fact, an example of that can be had once you consider it would be financially viable to deploy Akida Edge AI Box in every patient’s room to monitor their health and safety; in every store aisle to gauge shopping experience; in every car, truck, boat, or plane in the fleet to manage logistics.
Furthermore, we ought to mention that BrainChip developed the Akida Edge AI Box in partnership with VVDN Technologies, a premier electronics innovation and manufacturing company. VVDN would on to manufacture BrainChip Akida Edge AI Box Developer Kit, as well as custom versions of the product with OEMs for volume commercial applications.
All in all, BrainChip Akida can be used as an event-based computing platform ideal for early detection, low-latency solutions for robotics, drones, automotive and traditional sense-detect-classify-track solutions. Complementing the same would be Brainchip’s decision to provide range of software, hardware, and IP products for integration into existing and future designs.
“The Akida Edge Box is a great platform for running AI in standalone edge environments where footprint, cost and efficiency is critical, while not compromising performance,” said Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip. “We look forward to announcing more partners developing edge AI for their customers’ specific use cases and more importantly, we look forward to the ideas these companies will bring to life with the Akida Edge AI Box.”
Anyway, talk about companies that are currently leveraging this technology, we begin from the Edge AI Model training and Development space, where Edge Impulse is demonstrating how easy it is to build and deploy custom machine learning models directly on the Akida Edge AI box.
Next up, there is the field of gesture recognition. Here, BeEmotion, an innovator at the intersection of AI and human behavior that provides cutting-edge solutions, is banking on Brainchip’s technology to enhance interaction, prevent accidents, and bring enjoyment to the everyday use of technology.
Then, we have the subject of climate change, an area which is witnessing AI Labs, a pioneer in AI, robotic process automation, and software development, using Akida to forecast and gain visibility into contributors to climate change, such as emissions.
Moving on, the model evaluation field also stands to gain from Akida and that is evident in DeGirum, a leader in AI innovation with comprehensive solutions that accelerate the adoption of AI at the edge, and its successful attempt to streamline AI workflows.
Hold on, we still have a couple of bits left to unpack, as we haven’t yet touched upon how Quantum Ventura Inc., provider of advanced R&D to the federal government in fields such as machine learning, hyperspectral imaging, and cybersecurity, is leveraging Akida to enhance its CyberNeuro-RT (CNRT) technology, which happens to be an AI/ML-driven, highly-scalable, real-time network defense & threat intelligence tool.
