Launching the CHIRB & Chips YouTube Channel — 11/11 https://www.youtube.com/@CHIRBnCHIPS On 11/11, we open a new chapter for Saluts: our CHIRB & Chips YouTube channel goes live. The channel will share how we build autonomous edge intelligence for satellites, drones, and remote industrial systems — and how these machines connect across space and Earth. We will cover real demos, behind-the-scenes engineering, and short explainers on CHIRB, and our ultra-efficient AI chips. 11/11 is symbolic for us: alignment, clarity, and building things that connect people, machines, and (sometimes) the universe. Technology may be engineered, but inspiration is universal. If this world interests you — autonomy, edge AI, space, robotics, infrastructure, or simply learning how “machines think” — subscribe and follow the journey. https://www.youtube.com/@CHIRBnCHIPS

Saluts offers us as an option.

PLEASE let there be numerous license announcements ASAP or we’ll wind up like the Batavia!

Google AI Overview: The Batavia was a Dutch East India Company ship that, on its maiden voyage in 1629, was shipwrecked off the coast of Western Australia. The disaster was followed by a gruesome mutiny and massacre among the survivors on nearby islands, resulting in the deaths of over 100 people before the ship's commander returned with help. The wreck is one of Australia's most infamous and is now a significant archaeological site.

About four months ago, we found out from Cecilia Pisano that her then-employer, Sardinia-based Nurjana Technologies, had been “applying Brainchip Akida to real use cases for more than 1 year”.

During her time as R&D Lead Engineer at Nurjana Technologies, she developed “advanced optical payloads for satellites and drones, including event-based cameras and neuromorphic processors”, among other things.

Cecilia Pisano has since left the company to take “a well-deserved break to focus on personal projects” , which includes “leading development, patenting, and commercialization of an advanced interactive device, managing all phases from concept through market launch” as a self-employed innovator (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-cecilia-pisano-6924a9321/), but her former employer continues to pursue space research involving event-based cameras paired with neuromorphic processors.

Four days ago, Nurjana Technologies posted a job ad for an “AI Engineer - Neuromorphic Processors & Event-Based Vision for Robotic and Space Systems”, in which Akida gets a mention.

Note, though, that despite having been very happy with Akida’s performance over the past ~1.5 years (judging from Cecilia Pisano’s likes and comments on LinkedIn), the team at Nurjana Technologies seems to have a very open mind about also evaluating other neuromorphic processors besides Akida for their “work on cutting-edge neuromorphic vision systems in mission-critical domains”:

Nurjana Technologies uploaded a video earlier today that highlights several of their product offerings, including one called NEBULA.

In a publication for the Italian Pavilion at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2025 in Sydney (29 September to 3 October 2025), which represented 20 of Italy’s most innovative companies in the space sector, NEBULA is described as
“an edge AI solution using neuromorphic processors and advanced optical sensors, such as event- based cameras, to track small, fast and low-visibility space objects with exceptional efficiency, even in harsh conditions”.

https://www.ice.it/it/sites/default/files/banner_files/Italy%20at%20IAC%202025%20Sydney_0.pdf

I assume it was NEBULA that Cecilia Pisano had been working on while still with Nurjana Technologies:

I have never claimed that Brainchip will not succeed.

What I criticise are people making unrealistic share price claims without any substantial new deal to support them.

Without a meaningful agreement that secures long-term revenue – no matter what kind of deal – the share price will remain a playground for shorters and manipulators. Every long-term shareholder who has been invested for years knows this.

If you disagree, address my arguments instead of just trolling and throwing around insults. It’s ridiculous.

What have we here?

Mercedes-Benz meeting with Samsung Electronics and LG Group to talk next-gen AI-defined vehicles definitely caught my attention and it could have some interesting future implications for BrainChip, given our existing association with Mercedes.

The talks covered a wide sweep of vehicle electronics including batteries, displays, sensors, semiconductors, components, and the whole software-defined, AI vehicle stack.

If Mercedes is broadening partnership scope (i.e. not just displays and infotainment, but AI, sensors and software as well), then there could be room for BrainChip to move from pilot to a more strategic function like always-on cabin monitoring, anomaly detection, sensor layer, low-power standby intelligence.

The meeting with Samsung and LG suggests Mercedes is open to multiple supply chain and technology partners, which, with any luck, might open the door for BrainChip to be one of the tiered AI-tech partners across Mercedes’ next wave of AI-defined vehicles and potentially even across the ecosystems of Samsung and LG in the longer run.

My opinion only.

Mercedes meets with Samsung and LG for next-gen AI vehicles​

Ola Kallenius, chairman of Mercedes-Benz, met with senior executives from both Samsung and LG during his visit to Korea this week, signaling an effort to expand cooperation beyond electronic components into next-generation AI-defined vehicles (ADV).

Kallenius held a private dinner on Thursday with Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong at the Samsung Guest House in Hannam-dong, central Seoul. The meeting was also attended by Samsung SDI CEO Choi Yoon-ho and Harman CEO Christian Sobottka. While Samsung and Mercedes-Benz already collaborate through Harman on infotainment systems, digital keys and in-car audio, they have yet to establish a supply relationship for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, in contrast to Samsung SDI supplying those for BMW and Audi.

“Considering the global network that Chairman Lee has established, along with the technological advancement by Samsung SDI, this meeting could serve as the missing piece of the puzzle in the collaboration between the two companies,” said an industry insider.

Lee has positioned batteries and automotive electric parts as core growth drivers for Samsung. The company designated EV batteries as a future business in 2010 and acquired Harman for 9 trillion won ($6 billion) in 2016 to expand into automotive electronics. In 2018, Samsung named electronics components alongside AI as one of its four key growth sectors, and restructured its internal teams last year to centralize its Harman-based strategy.

Kallenius’s first official stop in Korea was LG in western Seoul's Yeouido, where both sides announced plans to expand cooperation from the existing concept of Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) to ADVs, signaling a shared goal of developing “smarter cars.”

“At a time when the shift to the ADV era is accelerating, LG — with its complete mobility value chain — can collaborate with Mercedes-Benz across various sectors,” said LG Electronics CEO Cho Joo-wan during their meeting at LG Twin Towers in Yeouido. “I expect major deals in AI-powered automotive components and batteries.”

Joining Cho at the meeting were top executives from LG’s other affiliates: Jeong Cheol-dong, CEO of LG Display; Kim Dong-myung, CEO of LG Energy Solution; and Moon Hyuk-soo, CEO of LG Innotek. The group reportedly presented a unified “One LG Solution,” which bundles infotainment, Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), batteries, vehicle displays and autonomous driving sensors, emphasizing alignment with Mercedes-Benz’s next-generation technology road map.

The two companies have maintained a wide-ranging partnership for more than 20 years, beginning with LG’s supply of automotive displays to Mercedes-Benz in 2004. During Thursday's visit, Källenius applauded LG as the go-to partner for Mercedes-Benz and a rare company with both technological breadth and depth in fields like SDV, AI and batteries.

The high-level meetings with both Samsung and LG come amid structural changes in the manufacturing sector. As the automotive industry transitions to EVs, cars are evolving into “wheeled electronics,” with the number of electronic components per vehicle increasing several-fold compared to internal combustion engines.

“In a climate where growth in traditional consumer electronics like home appliances and smartphones is slowing, future vehicle electronics is one of the few new sectors where existing manufacturing strengths can be directly applied,” said an industry source. Korea is one of the few countries with core technologies across semiconductors, displays and batteries — all of which are essential to vehicle electronics — and combining these with automotive production is expected to create high added value.

Kallenius also held a separate meeting with Hyosung Group Vice Chairman Cho Hyun-sang. HS Hyosung The Class, an affiliate of the group, is an official Mercedes-Benz dealership in Korea. The two reportedly discussed potential collaboration across mobility and ways to expand the dealer network.

Kallenius also held a separate meeting with Hyosung Group Vice Chairman Cho Hyun-sang. HS Hyosung The Class, an affiliate of the group, is an official Mercedes-Benz dealership in Korea. The two reportedly discussed potential collaboration across mobility and ways to expand the dealer network.

A week or two ago, we discussed Sony's integrated photo detector/processor. The early filing date of 2021 does not inspire me with confidence that it is Akida, but there have been a few years for them to wake up, and, as you say, Mercedes ...

WO2022163135A1 IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING SYSTEM, IMAGING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM 20210129

An imaging device includes: an imaging section that has a pixel region where a plurality of pixels is arrayed, a readout unit control section that controls readout units each set as a part of the pixel region, a readout control section that controls readout of pixel signals from the pixels included in the pixel region for each of the readout units set by the readout unit control section, a recognition section that has a machine learning model trained on the basis of leaning data, and a determination basis calculation section that calculates a determination basis of a recognition process performed by the recognition section. The recognition section performs the recognition process for each of the readout units. The determination basis calculation section calculates a determination basis for each of the readout units.

[0136] Described in Paragraph C herein will be an outline of a recognition process using a DNN (Deep Neural Network) applicable to the present disclosure. It is assumed in the present disclosure that a recognition process for image data (hereinafter simply referred to as an “image recognition process”) is performed using a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and an RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) included in the DNN.

PS: I dreamt that there was an article which said that Waymo (Tesla full AV rival) uses about half a dozen lidars and radars and 26!? cameras. (Apparently it is authorized for highway driving, but it needs to recharge every 5 km).

PS: That last bit is not true ...

What have we here?

Mercedes-Benz meeting with Samsung Electronics and LG Group to talk next-gen AI-defined vehicles definitely caught my attention and it could have some interesting future implications for BrainChip, given our existing association with Mercedes.

The talks covered a wide sweep of vehicle electronics including batteries, displays, sensors, semiconductors, components, and the whole software-defined, AI vehicle stack.

If Mercedes is broadening partnership scope (i.e. not just displays and infotainment, but AI, sensors and software as well), then there could be room for BrainChip to move from pilot to a more strategic function like always-on cabin monitoring, anomaly detection, sensor layer, low-power standby intelligence.

The meeting with Samsung and LG suggests Mercedes is open to multiple supply chain and technology partners, which, with any luck, might open the door for BrainChip to be one of the tiered AI-tech partners across Mercedes’ next wave of AI-defined vehicles and potentially even across the ecosystems of Samsung and LG in the longer run.

My opinion only.

Mercedes meets with Samsung and LG for next-gen AI vehicles​

Ola Kallenius, chairman of Mercedes-Benz, met with senior executives from both Samsung and LG during his visit to Korea this week, signaling an effort to expand cooperation beyond electronic components into next-generation AI-defined vehicles (ADV).

Kallenius held a private dinner on Thursday with Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong at the Samsung Guest House in Hannam-dong, central Seoul. The meeting was also attended by Samsung SDI CEO Choi Yoon-ho and Harman CEO Christian Sobottka. While Samsung and Mercedes-Benz already collaborate through Harman on infotainment systems, digital keys and in-car audio, they have yet to establish a supply relationship for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, in contrast to Samsung SDI supplying those for BMW and Audi.

“Considering the global network that Chairman Lee has established, along with the technological advancement by Samsung SDI, this meeting could serve as the missing piece of the puzzle in the collaboration between the two companies,” said an industry insider.

Lee has positioned batteries and automotive electric parts as core growth drivers for Samsung. The company designated EV batteries as a future business in 2010 and acquired Harman for 9 trillion won ($6 billion) in 2016 to expand into automotive electronics. In 2018, Samsung named electronics components alongside AI as one of its four key growth sectors, and restructured its internal teams last year to centralize its Harman-based strategy.

Kallenius’s first official stop in Korea was LG in western Seoul's Yeouido, where both sides announced plans to expand cooperation from the existing concept of Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) to ADVs, signaling a shared goal of developing “smarter cars.”

“At a time when the shift to the ADV era is accelerating, LG — with its complete mobility value chain — can collaborate with Mercedes-Benz across various sectors,” said LG Electronics CEO Cho Joo-wan during their meeting at LG Twin Towers in Yeouido. “I expect major deals in AI-powered automotive components and batteries.”

Joining Cho at the meeting were top executives from LG’s other affiliates: Jeong Cheol-dong, CEO of LG Display; Kim Dong-myung, CEO of LG Energy Solution; and Moon Hyuk-soo, CEO of LG Innotek. The group reportedly presented a unified “One LG Solution,” which bundles infotainment, Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), batteries, vehicle displays and autonomous driving sensors, emphasizing alignment with Mercedes-Benz’s next-generation technology road map.

The two companies have maintained a wide-ranging partnership for more than 20 years, beginning with LG’s supply of automotive displays to Mercedes-Benz in 2004. During Thursday's visit, Källenius applauded LG as the go-to partner for Mercedes-Benz and a rare company with both technological breadth and depth in fields like SDV, AI and batteries.

The high-level meetings with both Samsung and LG come amid structural changes in the manufacturing sector. As the automotive industry transitions to EVs, cars are evolving into “wheeled electronics,” with the number of electronic components per vehicle increasing several-fold compared to internal combustion engines.

“In a climate where growth in traditional consumer electronics like home appliances and smartphones is slowing, future vehicle electronics is one of the few new sectors where existing manufacturing strengths can be directly applied,” said an industry source. Korea is one of the few countries with core technologies across semiconductors, displays and batteries — all of which are essential to vehicle electronics — and combining these with automotive production is expected to create high added value.
