Monday, August 17, 2020 – Tensor Innovation Partners has been awarded a 6-month, SBIR contract by NASA to develop a scalable neural net and neuromorphic module for in-space autonomous orientation and maneuvering. Brainchip’s Akida neuromorphic processor on a chip will be at the heart of our prototype CubeSat design to be built and flown in Phase II of this contract. We will leverage the low power requirements of the Akida NPoC to build a spacecraft that meets NASA’s requirement for efficient Size, Weigh, and Power (SWaP), while operating in space with minimal human intervention. Ultimately, we will demonstrate the capacity of small-scale standalone neuromorphic systems to perform a variety of mission activities while withstanding the rigors of outer space and develop modular commercial systems for a variety of commercial space applications.
