BRN Discussion Ongoing

Evening Chippers,

This mob would be worth keeping an eye on.

German based & dabble in a bit of everything .

Purely on my radar due to looking at the German exchange...biggest movers.

Apparently picked up a contract with the Australian gov recently.









If we are not in bed with them yet , then why not.


Regards,

Much better to be killed softly I say 🙄..
Where's the fun in that?..



Great song.

I'm guessing that, because EI works with several companies who are mutual competitors, they would need to have established Chinese walls to prevent cross-company information flow to protect each comapny's IP/confidntial information, and I'm hoping that these restrictions continue under the new regieme.
I'm just wondering if Qualcomm might have their sights set on our "TENNS" to be somehow incorporated into their own products and platforms somehow.
With BRN's numerous patents in place, I feel very confident that Edge Impulse would have had some discussions with Qualcomm of BRN's so called Advanced AI Neuromorphic commercially available technology and that Qualcomm should take note of same, if they wanted to remain relevant and not being left behind in the AI race generally and with especially AI at the edge.

With embedded world Exhibition&Conference kicking off tomorrow, Paul Schell previews the major themes to expect at the conference. All eyes are on edge AI—from ultra-low-power AI processors to neuromorphic computing. Established players and startups alike are making bold moves, from Infineon Technologies DEEPCRAFT platform and Microchip Technology Inc. FPGA expansion to NXP Semiconductors acquisition of Kinara. Meanwhile, Alif Semiconductor, Syntiant Corp., and POLYN Technology are driving innovation in AI accelerators, voice-based interfaces, and specialized neuromorphic designs. What trends will define 2025? Will incumbents continue acquiring startups for AI optimization, or will challengers like Aspinity, Inc., Innatera, and BrainChip set the pace? Paul's Insight explores the strategic shifts and key announcements to watch. Unlock the article at the link below 👇

I hope this doesn’t end up the way of the Arm/Qualcomm/Nuvia stouch. ‘Acquisition/IP’ via the ‘back door’ ….
I dont think so because EI had not officially licenced our IP yet. So I imagine Qualcomm will be able to do this.

Yes, already posted a lot earlier but stay with me....


BrainChip Demonstrates Event-based Vision at Embedded World 2025


Excerpt:

BrainChip’s Akida technology demonstrates the possibilities of embedded AI. As part of its exhibition at Embedded World, the company will showcase the benefits of low-latency and ultra-low power consumption for gesture recognition using the Akida 2 FPGA platform in conjunction with the Prophesee EVK4 development camera. Unlike other approaches, the combination of Prophesee’s event-based vision sensors with Akida’s event-based computing can capture extremely high-speed movement with high sparsity so that only information relevant to the gesture is processed, enabling faster response times. These computer vision systems open new potential in areas such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, IoT, security and surveillance and AR/VR.

Integrating Prophesee event-based vision sensors with Akida's event-based processing will enable the development of new, compact SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) form factors, unlocking fresh product opportunities in the market.

“By combining our technologies, we can achieve ultra-high accuracy in a small form factor, empowering wearables and other power-constrained platforms to incorporate advanced video detection, classification, and tracking capabilities,” said Etienne Knauer, VP Sales & Marketing at Prophesee. “Processing our event-based sensor data streams efficiently leverages their sparse nature, reducing computational and memory demands in the final product.”



If only we were here in the background processing...maybe a near term update opp down the track :unsure:


IDS Unveils uEye EVS: High-Speed Industrial Camera Powered by Prophesee Event-Based Vision

Visit https://en.ids-imaging.com/ueye-evs-cameras.html for further information
New uEye EVS camera integrates the Prophesee-Sony IMX636 sensor, enabling ultra-fast, efficient machine vision with event-based sensing.

03/06/25, 01:22 PM | Industrial Robotics, Factory Automation | IDS Imaging Development Systems Inc.

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH, market leader in industrial machine vision, and Prophesee SA, inventor of the most advanced neuromorphic vision systems, today announced that IDS' new uEye EVS camera line incorporates the high-speed, dynamic range and data efficiency of the Prophesee-Sony IMX636HD event-based vision sensor to offer new capabilities for industrial machine vision applications.

The result of extensive collaboration between the two companies, the solution features Prophesee's proven neuromorphic approach to capturing fast-moving objects with significantly less data processing, power and blur than traditional frame-based methods. With these capabilities, the uEye EVS camera is the ideal solution for applications that require real-time machine vision processing at very high speed, such as optical monitoring of vibrations or high-speed motion analyses.

The BrainChip/Prophesee/Sony conundrum.

When the announcement on the BrainChip/Prophesee partnership was made, unrealistic timelines were attached to product & financial outcomes by many shareholders.
The reality was Prophesee/Sony were already well into the product development cycle before BrainChip appeared on the scene, and these products would be released to the market while Prophesee developed their next wave of products, the partnership suggesting that this would include BrainChip technology. The likely release of Brainchip/Prophesee products on this development timeline is 2025/2026 ... so we could be getting close.

The question is, what role does Sony have in the next range of Prophesee products - is it a 3 way partnership ? Will we see a next generation Prophesee/Sony sensor featuring Brainchip IP ?

Perhaps a little insight to that answer here with Lyes.
Yes, Sony are investing resources in the field.
Lyes has been in his position as Sony Senior Research Scientist in Neuromorphic Computing for 2.5 years
and Lyes is an avid follower of BrainChip on LinkedIn.
So, the answer is " very possibly " ... IMO

@Diogenese you are the best qualified to answer this. what’s the chances Onsemi new product to be launch at embedded world is the product Tony Lewis is referring to. Podcast with Onsemi talked about how Akida assisted with Time Of Flight in Onsemi tech. Here they are on LinkedIn just launching a new product with ToF.

@Diogenese I’ll take it as positive. I’m guessing spoiler alert for an announcement by BRN.

Here’s a link for those who want to read about it. On board processing seems down Akida path.

Radhika from Onsemi now with a new Saudi Semiconductor / Smart Device company called Alat.

Should probably keep an eye on them.

Morning Chippers ,

Found this article interesting, from memory we were involved with.... ( Ericsson )??.. in a paper on this very topic not that long ago.

Self powering sensors,


Regards,
Esq.
The Pico NPU has been developed with a power requirement of less than 1 mW and could fit here...

In addition, Akida enables autonomous learning directly on the device, without cloud dependency, which supports the real-time capability and adaptability of ambient IoT systems. Akida could thus play a key role in the development of energy-autonomous and intelligent IoT devices.

Sounds very promising @TheUnfairAdvantage, since we have already integrated our hardware with Onsemi's AF0130 smart iToF sensor one year ago.

Nice. Good to see we are providing smart protection to our naval assets and those who man them.
Hopefully we will give them some thought provoking teeth as well.
Also good to see we are diversifying away from all USA gear.
With that orange idiot in control over there, playing bingo with world geo politics and economies, we need to be exploring other avenues of cooperation.

I still hope that the new car from Sony and Honda “aleefa” will have a surprise for us. I know they use Azure from Microsoft for some functions, but it’s possible that they need to use technology on the edge to protect the privacy of users. Processing data locally within the car instead of relying on cloud services could enhance security and reduce latency. It would be great if Sony and Honda integrate edge AI capabilities with Akida to ensure that sensitive driving data remains private while still offering advanced smart features.

Am I just desperate to think there may even be a small chance we are involved in this?
