BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Bravo]

Speaking of plausibility, how plausible is it that BrainChip's Akida neuromorphic processor could be integrated into Valeo's Smart Safety 360 (VSS360) system, particularly in components like radars and ultrasonic sensors?

Remembering that in 2020, BrainChip and Valeo entered into a joint development agreement to incorporate Akida into advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle platforms.

The VSS360 system's components haven't been publicly disclosed, but the system's reliance on real-time processing of data from various sensors appears to align well with Akida's capabilities. Akida's event-based processing and support for TENNs enable efficient handling of spatiotemporal data, making it suitable for applications like radars and ultrasonic sensors requiring low-latency and low-power consumption.

Production of the system is set to begin in 2026.

This is great news

Is it?
How?
Underperform!

In finance, underperform signifies a stock's anticipated performance being lower than that of its peers, its sector average, or a relevant market index. It's essentially a negative outlook given by financial analysts, suggesting the stock is likely to lag behind in returns. This contrasts with an "outperform" or "buy" rating, and doesn't necessarily mean a stock will decline, but rather that its gains will be less than expected.

If they don't secure any IP deals during the remainder of the year (we just passed the 1/2 way mark) it's not good, and I will start getting worried.

Surprisingly quiet from Sean, the podcasts have stopped. Okay, that's not necessarily a negative because you can only make so many backslapping ones before people will say, okay very nice, but where are the deals?
Edit, one just came out now, well, well, LOL!

I think many investors are like me, we would really like to see some deals!

There was a post today about Renesas and I can't see anything Akida in their new MCU's?

The 2 IP deals that BRN secured must be running out, nothing came from them as far as I know.

The Renesas IP deal was the first BRN ever secured back in December 2020!

Hmmmmm...This news could be very promising for BrainChip.

RTX (formerly Raytheon Technologies) and Shield AI are partnering to develop autonomous drone and counter-drone technologies. Their focus is on autonomous battlefield awareness and AI-driven flight for contested environments. Autonomous edge processing is implied, even if not named explicitly.

The systems aim to be fast, reactive, and capable of operating without GPS or direct human control, leveraging AI onboard to make split-second decisions.

While BrainChip is not named in the RTX–Shield AI press release, the existing collaboration between BrainChip and Raytheon makes them a potential contributor IMO, especially if radar, electronic warfare, or on-device classification features are prioritized.

Given the Akida roadmap (including 3.0 and TENNs), BrainChip may have a pretty unique value proposition for any RTX counter-drone system that needs rapid, lightweight inference at the edge.

Shield AI employs its proprietary autonomy software, Hivemind, to enable edge processing capabilities in its autonomous systems. They have also developed EdgeOS, a modular, real-time autonomy middleware built for edge deployment. But Akida could potentially be integrated as a specialised co-processor to enhance perception or energy efficiency in subsystems within Shield AI-enabled drones or other Raytheon autonomous systems. At least this is what ChatGPT seems to think, for what it's worth.




Question : Does this mean that Hivemind and EdgeOS performs the same sorts of functions that Brainchip's tech could offer, therefore making it less likely for it to be incorporated, despite Raytheon and Brainchip's existing partnership?

Does This Make BrainChip Redundant?​

Not necessarily. Here's why:

1. Complementary Use Case:
   Hivemind still needs to process sensor data efficiently. Akida could slot in before or alongside Hivemind to preprocess radar, sonar, or audio data — especially where power, latency, or size constraints exist.
2. Mission-Specific Hardware:
   If Raytheon (or the DoD) is building smaller, lower-power drones or missile-based defense systems, Akida would be an ideal embedded neural inference engine, compared to larger, power-hungry GPU-based systems.
3. Specialized Processing:
   Akida excels in micro-Doppler radar analysis, gesture recognition, audio classification, biosignal monitoring, and anomaly detection — tasks that could offload or accelerate parts of Hivemind.
4. Raytheon Relationship:
   BrainChip already partners with Raytheon (for CyberNeuRT), which increases the probability of reuse or scaling Akida across Raytheon’s broader edge-AI architecture — possibly even complementing Shield AI’s stack.

---

Bottom Line​

• Yes, Hivemind + EdgeOS provide many capabilities traditionally performed by software on CPUs/GPUs at the edge.
• No, this does not eliminate the value of BrainChip — it just means BrainChip would need to be adopted as a specialized co-processor (not the whole stack).
• Likely scenario: Akida could be integrated to enhance perception or energy efficiency in subsystems within Shield AI-enabled drones or other Raytheon autonomous systems.

He mentioned they were promoting the AKD1000 chip for IPC Computers in Japan at 5.08 min which I found interesting. Also some interesting partners on their sites.

Ming chih, is so hard to understand. Maybe akida can help him one day.

 

[HopalongPetrovski]

So no one willing to comment on the latest podcast or is it that bad?

I thought it pretty optimistic and Ming Chih from Chelpis Quantum Corp was praising BrainChip for all the virtues we traditionally attribute to ourselves.
ie power efficiency, and the rest of swap, the security of processing at the edge eliminating both the lag and potential interception of sensitive data, and of course, our inbuilt ability of inference.
I also think he's impressed by our value and ability to be sourced as IP.
The plan to make a universal robotic platform where 60% of the basic substructure can be provided leaving the balance to be tailored to the particular devices task requirements, incorporating Akida, makes sense to me.
Why go to the trouble of completely redesigning every component of a robot when you can purchase the basic subunit "off the shelf" as a standardised platform, should save a lot of time, money and energy.
If we can be in a standardised platform used throughout Taiwan initially, and then perhaps Japan, and then perhaps picked up by USA, we would be well on our way.
I did find it helpful to use the closed captioning service on Youtube as Ming's accent can be a little difficult to understand at times.
Whilst not a perfect translation it was helpful addition to follow along.
I think Cyber security will be very big for us and hopefully we can get some commercial traction soon.
