Happy Friday, (maybe price sensitive announcement day)
Can someone explain to me like I'm 5, what this mornings announcement means?
The company equity plan?
Is this an extra 10 mill shares into equity raise?, says no cash consideration?
or, is this shares to go to staff achieving milestones?
Thanks and apologies if stupid.

The article in the above post refers to the fact that Qualcomm and Masimo recently partnered up to develop a health-focused reference device for smartwatch OEMs.
It might be useful to look through some of Masimo's recent patents (@Diogenese) to see if this turns up anything interesting.
I took this extract below from another article published in May 2024 that discusses Masimo's baby monitoring system. It states here that "The camera hardware and software architecture are designed to leverage and be compatible with future edge AI-based features, which are in development. The first application of the edge AI technology will be identifying babies who have turned face down."
I found out from reading this article that Masimo technology such as this monitors more than 10 million babies in hospitals every year and I can't help but thinking this would be a perfect fit for Akida Pico with its always-on, ultra low power (the lowest available in fact).

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.
Cate Lawrence16 hours ago
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
This photo is fake.
You can tell by the horizon area, that these guys aren't really on Mars.
We know that we are in the right space/Space, with neuromorphic technology and A.I. but we are not the only hopefuls, trying to carve out a piece of the pie.
We have a good chance, to be a significant player in this field.
Quarterly next week, will be interesting.
Has "income" begun to flow, or will it be another case of "next quarter is the one"..
Looks like the Martians have started building their own Stonehenge just left of the mast.

Hi @Bravo,
the statement by Mercedes-Benz that Sally Ward-Foxton quoted in said September 2022 article was plucked straight from the 3 January 2022 VISION EQXX press release (https://media.mbusa.com/releases/re...range-and-efficiency-to-an-entirely-new-level), so it is now almost three years old.
However, that press release is nowhere to be found on the official webpage dedicated to the VISION EQXX (https://group.mercedes-benz.com/innovation/product-innovation/technology/vision-eqxx.html) - surprisingly, there is no reference to neuromorphic computing at all on that page.
This equally holds true for the German version of the VISION EQXX webpage: https://group.mercedes-benz.com/innovation/produktinnovation/technologie/vision-eqxx.html
In fact, there hasn’t been any reference whatsoever to neuromorphic computing on that webpage since April 4, 2022, as I was able to establish thanks to the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org - a cool internet archive that I stumbled upon the other day, which allows you to “Explore more than 916 billion web pages saved over time”): I can go back to the German version of that webpage and see that on 1 April 2022, MB still mentioned “Elemente der Benutzeroberfläche unterstützen die nahtlose Interaktion zwischen Fahrer und Fahrzeug. Unter anderem durch Künstliche Intelligenz (KI), die die Funktionsweise des menschlichen Gehirns nachahmt.” (“Elements of the user interface support seamless interaction between driver and vehicle. This includes Artificial Intelligence (AI) which mimics the way the human brain works.”) The webpage’s content was soon after replaced with a new text dated 4 April 2022 that no longer referred to brain-inspired/neuromorphic AI whatsoever. It has since been updated with links to articles about the VISION EQXX’s second and third long distant road trips over 1000 km in June 2022 (Stuttgart to Silverstone) and March 2024 (Riyadh to Dubai).
It is anyone’s guess why MB decided to no longer mention that the keyword spotting in their VISION EQXX concept car had been exceptionally energy-efficient due to it having been implemented on a neuromorphic chip (let alone on which one specifically), although they obviously continue to take great interest in this disruptive tech.
Did they possibly come to realise that it would take much longer to implement neuromorphic technology at scale than originally envisioned? Either from a technical perspective and/or from a legal one (automotive grade ISO certification etc)?
Did they at the time possibly not foresee the growing number of competitors in the neuromorphic space besides BrainChip and Intel that could equally be of interest to them and which they would now first like to explore in depth before making any far-reaching decisions?
I also happened to notice that the reference to the VISION EQXX on https://brainchip.com/markets has been deleted. Thanks to the Wayback Machine, we can tell that this must have happened sometime between mid-July and August 25.
The question is: Why was that reference (consisting of a picture of the MB concept car that we know utilised Akida as well as the relevant press release excerpt) taken down from the BrainChip website?
Doesn’t this strike you as odd, despite the Mercedes logo still being displayed on our landing page under “YOU’RE IN GOOD COMPANY”?
And how about the other points I raised in previous posts, such as
- the word potential in “positioning for a potential project collaboration with Mercedes” showing up in a 2023 BrainChip summer intern’s CV, which - as I already argued in January - suggested to me that Mercedes must have been weighing their options and were evaluating more than one neuromorphic processor last year? (Well, I feel vindicated, since they certainly were, as evidenced by MB’s recent announcement regarding research collaborations with both Intel and other consortium members of the NAOMI4Radar project (based on Loihi 2) on the one hand and with the University of Waterloo on the other hand, where the research will be led by Chris Eliasmith, who is co-founder and CTO of Applied Brain Research, a company that recently released their TSP1, which is “a single-chip solution for time series inference applications like real-time speech recognition (including keyword spotting), realistic text-to-speech synthesis, natural language control interfaces and other advanced sensor fusion applications.”) https://www.appliedbrainresearch.co...lution-for-full-vocabulary-speech-recognition
- the June 2024 MB job listing for a “Working student position in the field of Machine Learning & Neuromorphic Computing from August 2024” that mentioned “working with new chip technologies” and “deployment on neuromorphic chips”?
- the below comment by Magnus Östberg (“We are looking at all suitable solutions!”) after a BRN shareholder had expressed his hope that MB would be implementing BrainChip technology into their vehicles soon?
-
- the fact that we are not the only neuromorphic tech company that has the Mercedes-Benz logo prominently displayed on their website or on public presentation slides?
- the fact that earlier this year Innatera’s CEO Sumeet Kumar got likes on LinkedIn from two of the MB neuromorphic engineers - Gerrit Ecke and Alexander Janisch - after suggesting MB should also talk to Innatera regarding neuromorphic computing?
- the reference to NMC (neuromorphic computing) being considered a “möglicher Lösungsweg” (possible/potential solution) in the recent presentation at Hochschule Karlsruhe by MB engineer Dominik Blum
(https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-439352) and the table with several competing neuromorphic hardware offerings in one of his presentation slides titled “Neuromorphic computing is a young field of research … with a lot of open questions, e.g.:”
And then there is also a recent Master’s thesis sort of connected to MB’s neuromorphic research (more on that later, as posts have a limit of 10 upload images) that strengthens my belief that MB are still weighing their options…
Lots of points raised that cannot simply be glossed over and that suggest to me Mercedes-Benz is nowhere near to implementing neuromorphic technology at scale into serial cars.
Interested to hear your or anyone else’s thoughts on those points.

Coincidentally, my Wayback Machine research regarding the VISION EQXX also came up with proof that @Krustor wasn’t as familiar with the BrainChip website as he claimed back in March - turns out there had in fact been a link to MB on that BrainChip webpage for over a year prior to his rude reply to me, despite him insisting there hadn’t been any previous link:

Excellent research !...all I would say is, yes, of course Mercedes Benz are testing every available ground-breaking technology, and yes we are still engaged
