BRN Discussion Ongoing

With all due respect and your enthusiasm and I love all Your posts.. but we all know that Akida has so far just been used like a b***h, and no one wants to pay. Everyone wants a piece, but no one wants to pay for it. So many companies praise Akida and how great BrainChip is, but up to now they’re all just freeloading instead of finally signing a contract. I do think it’s good in principle that we keep offering ourselves, but I get the feeling we’ve developed a certain reputation in the industry — like everyone thinks they can screw us for free. That’s why my excitement is pretty limited.
We don't do profits buddy.
We just like to collaborate with other companies to show off their products, then they go off to much bigger things.
We are that stepping stone that helps others to succeed. Just what PVDM preaches.

Bravo

If ARM was an arm, BRN would be its biceps💪!
It's that time of year, when the sun sinks in the sky far earlier than usual and the birds flap off somewhere else warmer and funner and the mice and bugs come out in force, to wreak havoc on your already teetering sense of sanity and well-being.

Yes, it's the time of year that you wish Akida could somehow be incorporated into your insect repellent spray - an AI repellent strong enough to push those nasties to the edge, before they manage to push you over it.

Whatever you're selling, I'm not interested in buying, thanks.

Someone keeps ringing me at least 50 times a day trying to sell me solar panels and that's annoying enough for me to contend with at the moment.
... you'll need a battery with that!

This poster titled GRAIN - Radiation-Tolerant Edge AI, presented by Kenneth Östberg, one of its two co-authors (the other being Daniel Andersson), during the “RISC-V in Space” workshop in Gothenburg on Thursday…

…finally reveals what NEURAVIS stands for - the name of that R&T project, which ESA awarded to the five consortium partners Airbus Toulouse, Airbus Ottobrunn, BrainChip, Frontgrade Gaisler and Neurobus in mid-2024 (see the July 2024 LinkedIn post by Airbus Space Project Manager Jérémy Lebreton below):

Neuromorphic Evaluation of Ultra-low-power Rad-hard Acceleration for Vision Inferences in Space.

The poster also provides more information with regards to the use cases currently being explored in the NEURAVIS project, although I’m afraid I couldn’t decipher everything due to the small print - maybe someone with eagle eyes or a magic tool to blow up the photo and unblur the small print can add in resp. correct what I’ve gathered so far:

1. Moon landing
Use Case #1: Vision-Based Navigation for Lunar Lander

Also see Alf Kuchenbuch’s recent comment on Argonaut, ESA’s lunar lander programme:

2. Debris detection/collect (?)
Use Case #2: Monitoring (?) Building Block for In-orbit Maintenance


3. Docking


4. Object ? (looks like “simulation”, but appears to be a longer word?)



In addition, the poster lists four “Application scenarios” for GRAIN’s Radiation-Tolerant Edge AI:

1. Remote Terminal Unit
2. Stand-alone Controller
3. Near-edge processing unit
4. Auxiliary data-processing module

Lots of small print to decipher here as well! 🔍

If I understand the above post correctly, we have yet to hear about what suggestion the NEURAVIS proposal has for AKD1500 (“BrainChip is proud that Airbus selected Akida for both COTS chips and IP in their proposal. ESA awarded the Airbus “NEURAVIS” proposal, including Akida in the Akida 1500 chip and on an FPGA together with Frontgrade Gaisler’s NOEL-V processor.”).

Whereas the underlined appears to refer to Frontgrade Gaisler’s newly revealed GR801 SoC that will incorporate Akida 1.0 IP - greatly benefitting the work of Airbus Toulouse computer vision experts such as Jérémy Lebreton (project lead) and Roland Brochard, as can be inferred from the GRAIN poster’s four listed use cases - there has to be another specific proposal by Airbus how to utilise our COTS chip AKD1500, then.

So I presume Airbus Ottobrunn and Neurobus might be the consortium partners currently collaborating on that second part of the NEURAVIS proposal?

Here is a close-up of the GRAIN - Radiation-Tolerant Edge AI poster Kenneth Östberg presented at the “RISC-V in Space” workshop last month - so no more deciphering of the small print needed 😊:

As I already mentioned the other day 👆🏻, it finally reveals what NEURAVIS stands for: Neuromorphic Evaluation of Ultra-low-power Rad-hard Acceleration for Vision Inferences in Space.

Unbelievable!

I just got a warning from Dreddb0t because I replied to 7fur7's EXTREMELY WEIRD post which showed a hand slapping a woman's butt, with this gif below.

So, this little girl's weirded-out look is more offensive than someone randomly replying to a serious post of mine with a slapping butt gif?

I note that my gif of the little girl has been removed but 7fur7's "slapped butt" gif still remains.

Moving back onto a better subject called Brainchip. The SAB of Brainchip Andre Van Schaik, I am intrigued by this man and also Gregory Cohen. I am hoping that one day our technology will be in amateur telescopes which these two are interested in as well.

I would love to buy a telescope and know exactly what I'm looking and at the same time track the event base image and still know I am looking at the same thing and then something else comes into the visual and it's something new. Would be super cool and educational. Will be keeping an eye on Andre in Manchester, where I think Brainchip may pay a visit there in July?

Also curious who the "Other" (NDA?) MCU SDK's are on the slides @Frangipani posted.
