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

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
