I see our mates :unsure: at Prophesee presenting shortly at the following symposium.

Having some challenges they say and are discussing a stacked event sensor. We know they work with Sony (one of the Chairs for this session) stacked sensor but also acknowledge the emphasis on connectivity to neuromorphic processor architectures....one would trust Akida is one such processor.

Original paper HERE

2023 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits Advance Program

Circuits Session 22
Advanced Imagers [Suzaku II]
Thursday, June 15, 14:00-15:40

Chairpersons: T. Takahashi, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corp.
M. Dielacher, Infineon Technologies AG

C22-2 - 14:25
A 320 x 320 1/5" BSI-CMOS Stacked Event Sensor for Low-Power Vision Applications, G. Schon, D. Bourke, P.-A. Doisneau, T. Finateu, A. Gonzalez, N. Hanajima, T. Hitana, L. Janse Van Vuuren, M. Kadry, C. Laurent, F. Le Goff, D. Matolin, A. Mezaour, B. Michel,
T. Naguleswaran, T. Opperman, P. Perrin, E. Reynaud, F. Shahrokhi, H. Tahachouite, C. Tianfan, G. van den Branden, A. Ziram, J.-L. Jaffard and C. Posch, Prophesee, France

Event-based vision is an emerging paradigm of acquisition and processing of visual information. The highly efficient way of acquiring sparse data and the robustness to uncontrolled lighting conditions make event-based vision attractive for applications in industrial, surveillance, IoT, AR/VR, automotive.

However, the unconventional format of the event data, non-constant data rates, non-standard interfaces pose challenges to usage and integration. A 320x320 6.3μm pixel BSI stacked event sensor was designed with the explicit goal to improve integrability and usability in embedded at-the-edge vision systems. Emphasis has been put on event data pre-processing and formatting, data interface compatibility and low-latency
connectivity to various processing platforms including low-power uCs and neuromorphic processor architectures.


Furthermore, the sensor has been optimized for ultra-low power operation, featuring a hierarchy of low-power modes and application-specific modes of operation. On-chip power management and an embedded microcontroller core further improve sensor flexibility and useability at-the-edge.

It seemed like Jim Keller was downplaying SNN's. Comparing neuromorphic computing to just another type of encoding method isn't exactly fair or particularly accurate I'd have thought. I would have liked to have seen him address the known benefits such as real-time on-chip learning and training, reduced latency, improved privacy and security, low power consumption, etc..

And, he came across a little disingenuously IMO when he said "It's not likely that interesting, but maybe.."

Not that interesting? Good luck telling that to our growing list of partners as well as Renesas and MegaChips who are in the process of making this technology widely available.
the words but maybe means he is a swinger on voting bit like me saying its not likely that interesting blue cheese, but maybe


(and that phrase is true i now am a fan of one type of blue cheese but its nane is under an NDA)

Just did a keyword Akida and Brainchip search and didn't pick up a mention of us but the content list looked an interesting read but probs above my brain space :LOL:

It's above my brain cells also.😆
It's a an British origin paper i believe and Simon Thorpe is part author to this paper.

Hence, I thought it might be of interest.

If it’s been on the road in Germany since 2022, and we haven’t received and revenue yet, doesn’t that indicate that we aren’t in it?
🤔, good point, unless the German version is inferior initially?

Perhaps the "like" isn't in reference to drive pilot? Hard to say.

What i do know is, this is the 4th "like" by anil on this topic in the last 24hrs

Thanks for pointing out the number of likes Anil is giving.

To me it says there is a lot of respect between Brainchip and Mercedes, and therefore possibly a very tight and prosperous relationship developing here.

I'm guessing things are progressing well between the two and the excitement levels are really building.

Opps. Reply meant for SharesForBrekky. On the BRN Website one of the reasons given to invest is the BRN tie up with Mercedes and others. Its a matter of when not if.
" Marquee brands include Mercedes, Valeo, Vorago, and NASA, and commercial IP licenses with Renesas and MegaChips. Commercial availability of semiconductor chips, IP, tools, and boards."
The when just has to be within our first mover timeframe. I am sure it will be. That is why i am accumulating.

This is a very good point.
Do we know how many cars they have sold in Germany with that feature? It'd be good to try and calculate "missing" revenue.

I think he's trying to tell us something........🤭

Great photo of the Golden Gate bridge over to Marin County, I lived for a short while in the Bay area when I was just 20.

For the golfers out there, my great, great Uncle (Sam Whiting) designed the Olympic Golf Club (Lakeside course) in 1927/8 and worked there as the Golf Pro/ Superintendent before retiring in 1955, Lakeside has been the home to a number of US Majors, the 2028 US PGA and the 2032 Ryder Cup currently scheduled there, certain holes have been altered over the years, but it still remains a proud family part of history !

One point to remember is that by January 2025 (my performance judgement day :ROFLMAO:) Sean will have just completed 3 of the 5 year plan that he presented to the Board back in early 2022, so now you may get the picture of why I personally chose that time period, things (should) be unfolding beautifully by that point, if not, well, "Houston, we have a problem" "Where's that AKIDA technology you promised us back at Astronauts college" :ROFLMAO::unsure:;)

Happy Sunday Believers....Tech.
