Description of Brainchip
BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (www.brainchip.com) provides neuromorphic computing solutions, a type of artificial intelligence that is inspired by the biology of the human neuron. The company’s spiking neural network technology can learn autonomously, evolve and associate information just like the human brain. The proprietary technology is fast, completely digital and consumes very low power. The company provides software and hardware solutions that address the high-performance requirements in civil surveillance, gaming, financial technology, cybersecurity, ADAS, autonomous vehicles, and other advanced vision systems.

Internship’s topic
Recent progresses in computational neurosciences used bio-inspired and unsupervised learning to develop artificial neural networks that become selective to the most frequent properties in their visual environment. Although these studies were very successful and currently constitute a gold standard in artificial vision, they were based on 2D images or videos whereas our surrounding environment is 3D. This 3D information is essential for multiple applications like depth estimation (e.g. for a robot to reach an object) or collision avoidance during navigation. It is therefore very important to develop bio-inspired artificial neural networks that integrate multiple visual inputs to exploit this 3D information.
