This isn’t the actual article I was searching for, but it directs you to sooo many New PossibilitiesNow look at what my Google search on “Brainchip Akida” dug up from the depths of the internet:

The link looked pretty dodgy to me, so I didn’t click on it. Instead, I did another Google search, this time on “C-Leg 4, Kenovo, Genium and Genium X3”, and it turns out they are all microprocessor-controlled knee prostheses by German orthopaedic technology company Ottobock, which according to Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottobock) is considered “the world market leader in the field of prosthetics and one of the leading suppliers in orthotics, wheelchairs and exoskeletons.”

These microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee joints have been on the market for many years now (the C-Leg was the world’s first in 1997, followed by the first generations of Genium (2011) Genium X3 (2013) and Kenovo (2015), with model updates since), but maybe Ottobock figured it was time for an ultra-low power upgrade?!
A quick search did not yield any (other) connections between Ottobock and Brainchip, so I am not sure whether this is a valid dot join or possibly some GenAI’s hallucination(would anyone like to volunteer to click on that link?!).
Employing neuromorphic technology as a means of restoring tactile sensation is definitely something the bionic limbs industry is extremely interested in (not to mention the affected patients!), and of course research of that kind is already being conducted at universities (see the paper below, which @Sirod69 shared with us two months ago), so chances are, the world market leader in prosthetics will have already checked out the available providers of this promising tech and possibly play around with less complicated use cases first.

Ottobock – an overview of the company
A world leader in innovation and technology, Ottobock is growing around the globe. Find out more about our products, services and company, Ottobock SE & Co KGaA.corporate.ottobock.com
Progress with tradition
Ottobock sets standards
For more than 100 years, Ottobock develops innovative products. Meanwhile, the med-tech company also takes care of the full treatment cycle all over the globe. These services are provided under the Ottobock SE & Co. KGaA name, which began in 2018 to channel the company’s med-tech expertise also into sustainably healthy workplaces.
We continually develop our company and perfect our technology to improve the lives of our users. In 2022, we invested 7% of our turnover in research and development.
Since 1919 products and technologies from Ottobock have been helping people gain new freedom of movement and avoid potential complications. Initially, the company revolutionised the market – above all treatment for patients – thanks to the series production of prosthetic components. Since then, the focus has turned to microprocessor-controlled knee joints such as the C-Leg (which can be controlled via an app), the computer-controlled C-Brace leg orthosis, the multi-articulating bebionic hand, Juvo power wheelchairs and the Paexo exoskeleton range for ergonomic workplaces.
Our single-minded determination to improve quality of life has made us a global leader in technology for wearable human bionics, which enhance or replace parts of the human body.

The Bionics market is setting up to take advantage with huge generational improvements for recipients.
Feeling and pressure sensations, as well as hot/cold , thru bionics are at the forefront of ground breaking advancements.
Another space for Akida

Maybe some here are already aware of this, but I just came across this interesting development happening in Joondalup, Western Australia. Wonder if Brainchip will be involved in this very big significant Australian project:
www.theaarp.com.au
"The Australian Automation and Robotics Precinct (AARP) is a world-leading collaborative innovation hub and Australia’s largest test and development site supporting the advancement of automation, robotics, remote operations and zero emissions technologies globally.
Strategically located just 35km north of Perth, Western Australia and just 30mins drive from the CBD, the AARP provides a unique and accessible testing environment, developed and managed by DevelopmentWA – the State Government of Western Australia’s land development agency, and operated by CORE Innovation Hub."
"The AARP Signature Series will bring together thought leaders and customers in a focused industry to discuss real-world challenges and use cases where innovation in robotics and AI can provide solutions. It offers a platform for startups to share their innovative technology and solutions that can be adopted and tested in mining and other sectors."
"We welcome startups with a focus on industrial automation and robotics, including field robotics, autonomous vehicles, autonomous systems, AI, computer and machine vision and internet of things (IoT). Across various stages from concept and design, prototyping, testing to scaling and manufacturing."

New comment. People are experimenting with BrainChip. Nice.
Now you lost your WiFi connection
ASIC in the hot seat:
https://www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...o-asic-analysis-with-adele-ferguson/104042088
This week a Senate Inquiry will deliver what is widely expected to be a damning report into the performance of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, ASIC.
In his report, the Chair of the Inquiry Andrew Bragg is likely to recommend major changes to the structure of the organisation, and look at how to better incentivise the regulator, which collects more than 1-point-8 billion dollars annually for the Commonwealth.
Hoping they fire a rocket up ASX's trouser leg.

I'm going to step out on a very sketchy limb here with what I think they will find!!
Yes there are! They just don’t buy

That's an awful lot of bubbles - just as well she doesn't smoke in the bath.
