LOL, a few beers and some hookers should light them up, contracts will follow soon after.

Dammed, maybe I should fly over and show them how it's done, eh!

Guzzi, I'll fire up the G6 then, will I?

Is that a fXXXXXX man bag or what??

Man I am getting old LOL.

I guess it suits the red hair??

Where are the ashtrays and beers?? And since we are in Las Vegas, hookers too!!

Looks Like … “ok guys… at least we tried it right? Am I right?”

He looks very surprised or let’s say stunned about the capabilities of Akida … he almost looks like he reaches the infinity brilliance of BrainChip’s akida! With his right hand, but stopped and closed his hand because of awe!

let’s go Brainchip

Not looking like happy campers sitting there

They've just learned that their Google Coral project has been superseded:

Google-VeriSilicon Coral NPU

Architecture for ML | Coral | Google for Developers

https://developers.google.com/static/coral/images/scalar-core.png

The scalar CPU front-end of Coral NPU provides the RISC-V 32-bit ISA base. This brings pre-existing compiler and library support from the broader software ecosystem. The scalar front-end is a C-programmable CPU in which loops and control flow enable sophisticated composition of vector ML engines. It provides a single development environment where the ML/SIMD/scalar computations have a unified memory model and control flow, thus simplifying the programming model.

Nice to know, thanks.

They are a +2000 employee and a +10 billion US$ MC company.

Looking at their web page, they are doing some interesting stuff right up the ally, where likely Akida could help.

They could both benefit doing something together, hence they have this chat at the CES, let's hope something comes out of it.

Minimal delay. If it was AKIDA and or TENNs there would be no noticeable delay.
So on the face of it looks like we are not involved.

AI snip on my phone browser on searching for supply chain, chips etc info for Naqui.

The key wording for me is the "chip agnostic" similar to the Akida "sensor agnostic" (if I recall correctly?) indicates what Naqi has / does can be licenced etc into your own chip / processor spec so I suppose someone could "request" Akida or any other comparable product.


The specific suppliers or foundries responsible for manufacturing the underlying semiconductor chips used in their prototypes have not been publicly disclosed. The company emphasizes a "chip-agnostic approach for supply-chain flexibility" in their public communications.

 

[Frangipani]

I guess what we should be asking is

"If there is no connection, why is Naqi Logix’s 'Best of Innovation' product being used as the primary live demonstration of Akida's capabilities in BrainChip’s own suite at the Venetian right now?"

I guess what we should be asking is

“Should I blindly trust and publicly post AI-generated replies that claim to be factual without first verifying the supposed ‘facts’?”

RTX engineers checking out the live demo of MetaGuard AI’s* CyberNeuroRT in BrainChip’s private suite at the Venetian Tower:

*the subsidiary Quantum Ventura set up to commercialise CyberNeuroRT, see https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-480130

On the left is Senior Principal Software Engineer Sylvia Traxler, who already visited the BrainChip team during CES 2025.

As I mentioned in my November post below, she is also one of the Raytheon mentors for the intermural Raytheon Autonomous Vehicle Contest (AVC), whose 2025/26 round BrainChip is sponsoring for the first time.

Care to take your mind off the cap raise for a moment and read about a capstone project instead?

Raytheon has been sponsoring an annual engineering contest between universities - held across 4 different regions since 2023/2024* - called the RTX Autonomous Vehicle Competition (AVC).
* for the first couple of years it was held in the Texas Region only

While the competition rules change every year, the underlying concept remains the same: multi-disciplinary student teams are challenged to construct two autonomous vehicles each on a predefined budget (which was US$ 5000 during the last round). Either two aerial ones (UAVs) or both an aerial (UAV) and a ground one (UGV) that will need to communicate with each other and complete their tasks modelled on real world-challenges (eg a search and rescue mission) without any human intervention. This requires collaboration between students across different uni departments such as Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, as well as Computer Science. So team effort over the duration of roughly a year is a must. As is project management. For many of those students, participation in the AVC is actually their Senior Capstone Project.

For competition sponsor Raytheon, collaborating with universities around their company’s major hubs is a great way to find potential new employees. Multiple Raytheon staff are mentoring the competing teams of students (most of whom are in their senior year) throughout the project’s duration. Take Sylvia Traxler, for example, whom you may remember as a visitor to the BrainChip CES 2025 suite alongside two of her colleagues (it was the BrainChip LinkedIn post with their group photo that got deleted shortly after posting). An alumni of the University of South Florida (she is currently also pursuing a Masters in Artificial Intelligence at The University of Texas at Austin), she assisted her alma mater’s 2024/2025 student team as a mentor and saw them win 1st place at the East Coast AVC in April.

California-based James Cooper is another example of a Raytheon AVC university mentor, in his case assisting California State University Long Beach:

The 2023/2024 Raytheon AVC was basically a game of tag, in which the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles had to detect and track a target - namely their rivals’ ground vehicles - and deliver a water blast of 20 ml to activate a moisture sensor on the competing universities’ ground vehicles, while avoiding to shower their own UGV.

All ground vehicles had ArUco* markers on top, which helped the drones’ computer vision systems to identify them correctly.
* https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/computer-vision/detecting-aruco-markers-with-opencv-and-python-1/


The 2024/25 Raytheon AVC (“Mission Full Send!”) had student teams imagine a scenario of delivering aid to an injured soldier on a battlefield, which required them to first deploy a Scout UAV mapping an area to search for the wounded person and relay the coordinates of the detected landing zone - denoted by a specific ArUco marker - directly to the other UAV resp. UGV, which was then required to deliver a first aid kit to the specified area. All done autonomously without a human in the loop.
(cf. https://www.gmu.edu/news/2025-05/dr...-raytheon-autonomous-vehicle-competition-2025)

Here is a video about the 2025 West Coast finals that took place in June.

It appears another team from California Polytechnic (Cal Poly) State University San Luis Obispo has been participating in the latest Raytheon AVC challenge that seems to have been dubbed "Operation Touchdown", and that one member of the current student team, Computer Engineering Senior Gianni Schiappa (who was an Operations Systems intern with Raytheon this summer) used Akida for the fully autonomous drone system he developed:

From what Gianni Schiappa writes on LinkedIn, it almost sounds as if the “Raytheon Autonomous Drone and Rover” project were already done and dusted, although Raytheon’s AVC is conceptualised as a two semester-project, culminating in an intermural competition in (Northern hemisphere) spring. Unfortunately, he did not specify a time frame for the project. All I can say is that he was not part of the Cal Poly team that competed in the 2024/2025 AVC West Coast finals in June of this year (and neither was Akida used in their UVA, see https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1933&context=mesp).

However, the accompanying photo he posted - a screenshot taken less than a month ago, possibly a captured still image of a video - appears to depict a competition, not just training. Maybe some fall semester qualifying contest?
Or is it a recent screenshot of a much older photo or video?

Anyway, nice to see Akida being used in more and more university student projects these days. After all, those young engineers will be tomorrow’s workforce and will already have gained first-hand experience in implementing neuromorphic technology by the time they enter the job market as graduates.

But it’s now up to our management to sign deals and make meaningful revenue to enable those future researchers to continue to work with our products in the years to come.
