It strikes me as strange that Nanovue (NVU) can today make a price sensitive announcement on the ASX that they are in effect doing a science experiment on their edge device to prove it may be useful and efficient in drones.
Seems they are cutting our lunch somewhat.
Good for them but just seems to illustrate a double standard in what is acceptable conduct in regards ASX announcements.

 

[jrp173]

I simply posted what the ann was, but whatever dk

Unfortunately some people just refuse to see what is happening.

How any can be okay with what's going on is crazy. Our Chairman told bold faced lies at the AGM (not just about the domicile) and the board sat and said nothing.

If this is not has not caused huge warning bells, then people are not paying attention.

This behaviour speaks volumes about our management.

Morning Chippers,

Conversion = AU$0.2654376 per share.

Hopefully mooving on up.

Esq.

That’s what I told you! I don’t trust aftermarket movements

 

[overpup]

I find it amusing that the Loihi2 board has a "fragile, do not touch" sign...
Pretty much says it all really

And you point that out to us every day.

It is what it is, sell and move on if you can't take it, is that so hard?

So the domicile is shelled for now, as in 2017, okay noted, won't lose a minutes sleep over it.

I am buying more shares when I can.

You go back on ignore, a waste of time reading your negative posts, like the HC, a lot on ignore over there, you should go over there, you fit right in, complaining day after day, pathetic!

Guzzi62 I thought you were putting me on ignore.. can't help yourself eh....you are too funny....

 

[jrp173]

Calling me blind, huh?

There are different scenarios Mr negative.

You go on ignore, I am not wasting anymore time on you.

Bye bye.

You couldn't even ignore my posts for one week...

Can it be lDA offloading more of the shares they need to sell? As reading here over the last week ain’t BRN meant to be getting a much higher price than current SP? So if it’s not them then I guess we will see a much higher short position be taken

It’s ASX wide due to a drop in credit rating.

Live: Australian stocks slip ahead of RBA rates decision tomorrow — ABC News

The Australian share market has fallen at the open on Monday, as the Reserve Bank's two-day meeting gets underway today ahead of its interest rates decision tomorrow.

As always unless you have an urgency to sell this price action is just white noise until we get contracts and revenue.

Sean’s remuneration is tied to sales so I’m sure he’s doing his best.

With FG, BH, AFRL, Chelpis Mirle (CM), OHB Hellas, QV, Andes and RISC V etc all on the job I’m hopeful we’ll get some deals over the line eventually.

I don’t get it… there are Canadian trash companies that have nothing to show for, have changed their name a hundred times and rebranded themselves, yet their stock price is higher.

Love it Frangipani! You go girl more excellent research in detail..I hope FF reads this, great researchers mean "plural" end of story...lawyers don't rule the narrative!..

Many are sheep ..not me, I always assess things by using my own initiative.

It's clear that you believe in Peters early work, you believe in Brainchip, but you, like me, believe in dealing with the facts as they present themselves, not fluff.

I will go on the record in saying, Antonio may have made a critical mistake in defending the Boards position with regards a US listing, clearly the Board intends working through all options, hiring professional advisors etc, but we're never leaving the ASX in our current state to France, Germany, Canada or the US...the ASX release cannot be denied, someone needs to take full responsibility for what's actually printed, own it, don't bullshit, because quite frankly, I and the rest of the Australian shareholder base aren't dense...own the mistake and don't blame Tony!

Sign some deals and all will be forgiven

Recently released paper funded by ESA.

Paper HERE

From what I can understand, the intent is focused on SNN vs ANN and neuromorphic processing power efficiencies etc.

They used AKD1000 for the test HW.

Appears to have come up alright but with sone work still to be refining re the SNN models.



Released 16/5.

Energy efficiency analysis of Spiking Neural Networks for space applications

Ethics declarations​

This work was founded by the European Space Agency (contract number: 4000135881/21/NL/GLC/my) in the framework of the Ariadna research program. The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that are relevant to the content of this article. The EuroSAT dataset used in this activity is publicly available at [43].

1.1 Work objectives​

With neuromorphic research being a relatively new topic, several steps are still needed to move from theoretical and numerical studies to practical implementation on real hardware flying onboard spacecraft. This work aims to contribute to this transition by providing some practical tools needed for the design of future spaceborne neuromorphic systems. The primary objective is to estimate the actual advantages that can be expected from SNN with respect to classical ANN. Here, the focus is put to the trade-off between accuracy and energy, as energy efficiency is the most prominent benefit sought in space applications. To achieve this goal, a novel metric, capable of comparing the model complexity of both ANN and SNN in a hardware-agnostic way, is proposed as a proxy for the energy consumption. The performance of several SNN and ANN models is compared on a scene classification task, using the EuroSAT RGB dataset. Special attention is placed on spiking models based on temporal coding, as they promise even greater efficiency of resulting networks, as they maximize the sparsity properties inherent in SNN, but rate-based models are included in the analysis as well. In order to validate this approach, the energy trend predicted with the proposed metric is compared with actual measures of energy used by benchmark SNN models running on neuromorphic hardware. The secondary goal of this work is to exploit the data collected in the comparison to analyze the internal dynamics of SNN models, identifying the most significant factors which affect the energy consumption, in order to derive design principles useful in future activities.

5 Conclusion​

An investigation of the potential benefits of Spiking Neural Networks for onboard AI applications in space was carried out in this work. The EuroSAT RGB dataset, a classification task representative of a class of tasks of potential interest in the field of Earth Observation, was selected as case study. SNN models based on both temporal and rate coding, and their ANN counterparts, were compared in a hardware-agnostic way in terms of accuracy and complexity by means of a novel metric, Equivalent MAC operations (EMAC) per inference. EMAC is suitable for assessing the impact of different neuron models, distinguishing the contributions of synaptic operations with respect to neuron updates, and comparing SNN with their ANN counterparts. In its base formulation, EMAC achieves dimensionless estimation, and it should then be considered only a proxy for energy consumption. Nevertheless, internal parameters can be tuned to match the features of specific hardware, if known, achieving also absolute estimation. A preliminary successful demonstration is given for the BrainChip Akida AKD1000 neuromorphic processor. Benchmark SNN models, both latency and rate based, exhibited a minimal loss in accuracy, compared with their equivalent ANN, with significantly lower (from −50 % to −80 %) EMAC per inference. An even greater energy reduction can be expected with SNN implemented on actual neuromorphic devices, with respect to standard ANN running on traditional hardware. While Surrogate Gradient proved to be an easy and effective way to achieve offline, supervised training of SNN, scaling to very deep architectures to achieve state-of-the-art performance is still an issue. Further research is needed particularly in the search of architectures capable to exploit SNN peculiarities, and in the development of regularization techniques and initialization methods suited to latency-based networks. Attention should be also given to recent developments in training techniques which do not require backward propagation in time, but only along the network at each time step [81], and new ANN-to-SNN conversion methods tailored for achieving extremely low latency [82]. Overall, the confirmed superior energy efficiency of Spiking Neural Networks is of extreme interest for applications limited in terms of power and energy, which is typical of the space environment, and SNN are a competitive candidate for achieving autonomy in space systems.

Congratulations to Neurobus, a French startup graduate of the CDL Next Gen Computing program!

Neurobus is pushing the boundaries of frugal AI with applications in the Defense and Space sectors.
Their innovative approach combines neuromorphic hardware architectures and Edge AI to develop intelligent surveillance drones.

But what exactly are neuromorphic hardware and Edge AI?
• Neuromorphic hardware mimics the human brain’s structure to process information efficiently. Using spiking neural networks (SNNs), it delivers low power consumption and high-speed data processing (ideal for real-time applications).
• Edge AI refers to running AI algorithms directly on devices (like drones) instead of relying on data centers. This enables real-time decision-making even in remote environments, crucial for surveillance and defense.

A strategic pivot with real impact:
During the NGC program, Neurobus made a critical shift from aeronautics and space to Defense and Space applications.

The result? Neurobus recently won a prize at the European Defense Hackathon for their innovative solution!

Want to learn more?
Meet Florian Corgnou and Nicolas Bourdis at the Paris Air Show - Salon du Bouget (June 16-22), where they will showcase their cutting-edge solutions for surveillance drones.

Congratulations to the entire Neurobus team for their strategic vision and determination!

See you on Wednesday to meet another Next Gen Computing graduate. Stay tuned !
