Opteran's neuromorphic software offers a new era for autonomous space robotics​

Opteran is conducting tests with Airbus at its Mars Yard to enable rovers to understand depth perception in the toughest off-world environments.

Opteran's neuromorphic software offers a  new era for autonomous space robotics's neuromorphic software offers a  new era for autonomous space robotics






Opteran, the natural intelligence company has announced its work with Airbus Defence and Space with support from European Space Agency (ESA) and the UK Space Agency will test the Opteran Mind, its general purpose neuromorphic software, in Airbus space rovers.
Opteran believes nature offers a more efficient, robust solution for autonomy in space robotics which will enable new mission capabilities for future Mars missions and other space exploration projects.
Based on over a decade of research into animal and insect vision, navigation and decision-making, Opteran is conducting tests with Airbus at its Mars Yard to enable rovers to understand depth perception in the toughest off-world environments.

Today’s off-world robots are cumbersome - taking minutes to compute a map of their surroundings from multiple cameras before every movement.
Opteran’s visual and perception systems offer Mars rovers’ the ability to understand their surroundings in milliseconds, in challenging conditions, without adding to the robots critical power consumption.
Opteran has reverse engineered natural brain algorithms into a software mind that enables autonomous machines to efficiently move through the most challenging environments without the need for extensive data or training.
Successful application of this technology to real-world space exploration will significantly extend navigation capabilities in extreme off-world terrain.

Ultimately, providing rovers with continuous navigation while being able to drive further and faster.
“We are delighted to be working with ESA and Airbus to demonstrate how Opteran’s neuromorphic software addresses key blockers in space autonomy,” said David Rajan, CEO and co-founder, Opteran.

This project is funded by ESA’s General Support Technology Programme (GSTP) through the UK Space Agency, which takes leading-edge technologies that are not ready to be sent into space and then develops them to be used in future missions. The near-term focus for the BNEE project is on depth estimation for obstacle detection, and the mid-term focus on infrastructure-free visual navigation.
Once the results of the initial testing have been presented to ESA the goal would be to move to the next stage of grant funding which would start to focus on deployment and commercialisation.
I wonder if they are using TENNs, or are they competition...

This might seem like a bit of a left-of-field thought as this feud between Arm and Qualcomm intensifies.

If Arm does cancel Qualcomm's license in 6o days, wouldn't this provide some incentive for Qualcomm to look for an alternative to some of Arm's technology while they sort through all of the legal issues?

One person's loss is another's gain, as they say...

LG to offer on-device AI chips.



HOME Semiconductor
LG Electronics to provide customized AI chiplets for appliances
  • Seonhaeng Lee

LG Electronics will offer customized AI chiplets for application in appliances as they are more cost-effective than chips in the market, a senior executive said.
Chips offered by Intel, Qualcomm, and others were general-purpose ones, Jin Gyeong Kim, head of LG Electronics’s SoC Center, said during a conference in South Korean on Wednesday. Removing unnecessary features and making a chip using chiplet technology can halve the price, he said.
Chiplet combines separately made chips through packaging and is considered an alternative and cheaper way to make AI chips instead of packing all the features into one silicon die.
The company’s SoC Center is under the supervision of the CTO and also develops its own IPs.
LG Electronics plans to collaborate in foundry with Samsung, Intel, and TSMC. Kim said it plans to manufacture its AI chiplets, which will be on-device AI chips, using 7- and 5-nanometer process nodes.
Kim said these chips can improve the resolution and sound quality in TVs and increase conveniences in home appliances. The company has finished proof-of-concept for the chips, he added.
Last month, LG Electronics announced its partnership with US chip IP firm Blue Cheetah on chiplet.

Looks like they might be competition. Neuromorphic technology inspired by the brains of insects, developed by University of Sheffield spin out.

I don't know whether Airbus and ESA would be looking to combine both of our technologies or test and compare them?

For those who want the intellectual capacity of an insect it will be perfect. I'll stick to Akida . . . :ROFLMAO:

Tying into my earlier post above about LG planning on-device AI chips.

I thought I'd post this LG article dated Feb 2024.

It's interesting in light of Todd Viera's presentation involving appliances (which @supersonic001 posted above).

So, LG have been working with Upstage to develop small language model (SLM)-based on-device AI technology to fit into LG’s laptops and home appliances.

The aim of the collaboration is to develop AI technology to recognize users' voice commands and translate, summarize, search and recommend documents, etc.

This seems to be exactly what Todd was describing above, especially when he suggested Akida Pico will be able to perform text to speech and speech to speech functions.

Oh, and I also posted a link to an Upstage video published 2 months ago in which they discuss RAG, which Todd also talked about in his presentation.

So, maybe worth keeping an eye on LG in this regard...




LG Elec, Upstage to form partnership for on-device AI​

Upstage's small language model-based AI technology will apply to LG laptops and home appliances​

South Korea’s artificial intelligence startup Upstage said on Tuesday it has signed a memorandum of understanding with LG Electronics Inc. to develop small language model (SLM)-based on-device AI technology to fit into LG’s laptops and home appliances.

On-device AI processes data in smartphones, laptops and tablets without internet connectivity at a faster speed than cloud-based AI and consumes less power. It also has enhanced data security without personal information leakage.


In December last year, the AI startup unveiled Solar, a new 10.7-billion-parameter English language model, the first of its kind in the world. It is an advanced pretrained generative text model.

Upon its debut, Solar secured the top position on Huggingface Open LLM Leaderboard, a global AI platform, beating Meta, Alibaba, 01.AI and Mistral AI.

In the first two weeks of its launch, all LLMs based on Solar took the top 20 spots on the leaderboard.

Solar is an acronym for Specialized and Optimized LLM and Applications with Reliability.

It is less than one-tenth of a GPT-3, a very large language model, in parameter and features a much faster inference speed, allowing it to provide various language-related AI services without affecting the performance and power consumption of the device. It is regarded as an optimal on-device AI.

Upstage and LG will collaborate to develop AI technology to recognize users' voice commands and translate, summarize, search and recommend documents or web pages.

“We will first apply the highest-performance AI to LG gram laptops with cumulative sales of 2 million units and do our best to ensure LG customers can experience AI features in LG Electronics home appliances,” Choi Hong-joon, vice president of Upstage, said in a statement.

Upstage Chief Executive Sung Kim is a professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and led Naver Clova AI Research.
He co-founded Upstage in 2020 with other AI experts from Nvidia, eBay, Naver Corp. and Kakao Corp., as well as professors from New York University and HKUST.

Naver is South Korea’s largest online portal and Kakao is the mobile giant in the country.

At CEO 2024 last month, LG Electronics CEO Cho Joo-wan defined AI as affectionate intelligence and emphasized that responsible intelligence was one of its characteristics to protect user data and enhance access safety.

Warning -Bad Friday morning humour.

If they can send the IT techs to fix the rovers why don’t they just bring the soil samples back with them 😜

Yeah, and why would you even need to worry about edge computing and low power consumption in space when you can buy a really long electrical cord from Bunnings like the one they have in the background?😝🤡😂

...and this shows an asynchronous clock divider – nothing special besides the worst asynchronous behavior.
As I said, if you want to know what the invention is, you need to read the claims.

This might seem like a bit of a left-of-filed thought as this feud between Arm and Qualcomm intensifies.

If Arm does cancel Qualcomm's license in 6o days, wouldn't this provide some incentive for Qualcomm to look for an alternative to some of Arm's technology while they sort through all of the legal issues?
