BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Flenton]

Hi Rach2512,
Am I reading this correctly that metavisions XR glasses are using Propesse technology
Sounds very exciting if this is also a possibility for brn to be involved ?.

I might be wrong but I remember Prophesee already stating the use case and advantages of using Akida for event-based cameras (vision sensors) and this was a few years ago so surely they would have been promoting this extreme power reduction with reduced latency and increased accuracy.
There are many reasons akida should be in such devices and if they aren't, I'd like to know why not.

I am praying to see in the next quarterly a line like 'we have received our first royalty payment of.....' it could be $500 for all I care but a royalties reciept means things a are happening... the snowball has started rolling.
And if not and very little revenue is shown again I sigh and think maybe next quarter

From 12 days ago. Been out of touch lately. If posted already apologies but worth watching again anyway. Short and sweet.

Thanks SC i hadn't seen that before. This article is from April but it's worth a read or re read after that video.

Frontgrade Gaisler Launches New GRAIN Line and Wins SNSA Contract to Commercialize First Energy-Efficient Neuromorphic AI for Space Applications​

by Frontgrade TechnologiesApril 2, 2025

Gothenburg, Sweden (April 2, 2025) – The Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA) has awarded Frontgrade Gaisler, a leading provider of radiation-hardened microprocessors for space missions, a contract to commercialize the first neuromorphic System on Chip (SoC) device for space applications. Already in development at Frontgrade Gaisler, the device is part of the company’s new GRAIN (Gaisler Research Artificial Intelligence NOEL-V) product line.

The first GRAIN device that Frontgrade Gaisler will premier – the Gr801 SoC – integrates AkidaTM neuromorphic technology from BrainChip, the world’s first commercial producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based, neuromorphic AI. The GR801 combines Gaisler’s NOEL-V RISC-V processor and the Akida neuromorphic AI processor into a single integrated circuit to enable energy-efficient AI applications in the space environment. Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) is contributing to this development by designing a demonstration application that uses a neuromorphic sensor directly connected to Gaisler’s new GR801 device.
Frontgrade Gaisler is designing the entire GRAIN product line to enable more advanced and autonomous space missions, and to enhance the space industry’s capabilities in energy-efficient AI. The GR8001 SoC will support both commercial and institutional space missions, enabling new applications and meeting strict power and weight constraints.
“Our latest innovation opens new avenues and complements our existing range of proven and reliable processing products,” said Sandi Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler. “GRAIN is an exciting new pursuit for Gaisler because we are well positioned to enable new capabilities for real-time data processing, autonomous navigation, Earth observation, and object detection and tracking.”
“Our continued collaboration with Frontgrade Gaisler to incorporate Akida IP into space SoCs showcases the importance of having environmentally hardened solutions, already proven to perform in the most extreme conditions,” said Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip. “We have worked hard to ensure our neuromorphic technology can meet the low-energy, low-latency, high-performance needs of GRAIN and other space-based devices in order to provide AI at – and beyond – the edge.”
Frontgrade Gaisler announced its new GRAIN product line at the second RISC-V in Space Workshop 2025, in Gothenburg, Sweden. The event focuses on how RISC-V technology is being leveraged in space systems, ranging from satellites to deep space missions. Learn more about the GRAIN product line at gaisler.com/grain

Have to go to work so putting up here unseen. Betting some interesting
stuff here. Will look at it this arvo. Putting up just in ase someone is interested

A must watch, we will to be involved in some form this would be fantastic, imo.

A must watch, if we are involved in some form this would be fantastic.

Let’s be hones… the current wave of AI wearables isn’t failing because of a few bugs or bad PR…..It’s failing because the whole concept is off.

You pay 700 bucks upfront, then get slapped with a monthly subscription, additional to your monthly telecommunication anmd internet bill..And for what? A device that does less than the phone already in your pocket. That’s not innovation. That’s reinventing the downgrade … now with a payment plan.

Then there’s the genius idea of projecting private info onto your hand in public. Or using voice commands in the middle of a crowded train. Because, of course, everyone around you needs to hear who you’re texting and what weird question you’re asking your assistant. YES I ASK WEIRD QUESTIONS!!

And to top it off…the others wrap it all up in a digital pet… a virtual rabbit.
As if the target group for AI productivity tools are 8-year-olds.

So if wearables like this don’t work… what’s next?
Honestly, there’s only one logical path left…IMO

Full integration. No more devices. No more gadgets. Just tech that disappears into you.
Call it what you want… implant, interface, neural mesh. A system that enhances memory and cognition…connects data without you asking
assists silently, without needing a screen or a “wake word” and…doesn’t need to explain itself with blinking lights or holograms…

Of course, there are obvious questions…security, health risks, ethics. Sure.
But let’s not pretend we’re not heading exactly in this direction because everything else is just noise.

And no… an “invisible” assistant that follows you from smart speaker to car to smartwatch doesn’t solve it either.
Not if it needs cloud access 24/7. Not if I have to talk to it like an idiot every time. And definitely not if it’s one more account to manage.

Current AI wearables aren’t the future. They’re awkward, expensive distractions that try to solve problems nobody had. (I don’t talk about the product’s which could help actually people with healthy problems… )

If we’re serious about this.. and I mean actually serious… then it’s either…tech that blends in so well you forget it’s there…or tech that becomes a part of you entirely

Everything else? Gimmicks.

And they can keep their talking pins and virtual bunnies. I’ll pass.

Oh I forgot… you maybe don’t need to wear the AI …the AI wears you! #Surrogates

Edit…. GO BRAINCHIP
