I never know what is new or old...
BrainChip, the world's first commercial producer of neuromorphic artificial intelligence chips and IP, today announced that Information Systems Laboratories (ISL) is developing an AI-based radar for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) based on its Akida™ Neural Network Processor Research solutions.
ISL is a specialist in expert research and complex analysis, software and systems engineering, advanced hardware design and development, and high-quality manufacturing for a variety of clients worldwide.
ISL focuses on areas such as advanced signal processing, space exploration, subsea technology, surveillance and tracking, cybersecurity, advanced radar systems and energy independence. As a member of the BrainChip Early Partnership Program (EAP), ISL will be able to evaluate boards for Akida devices, software and hardware support, and dedicated engineering resources.
"As part of BrainChip's EAP, we had the opportunity to directly assess the capabilities Akida offers to the AI ecosystem," said Jamie Bergin, Senior Vice President, Research, Development and Engineering Solutions Manager at ISL.
BrainChip brings AI to the edge in ways not possible with existing technologies. Akida processors feature ultra-low power consumption and high performance to support the development of edge AI technologies by using neuromorphic architecture, a type of artificial intelligence inspired by the biology of the human brain.
BrainChip's EAP program provides partners with the ability to realize significant benefits of power consumption, design flexibility and true learning at the edge.
"ISL's decision to use Akida and Edge-based learning as a tool to incorporate into their research and engineering solutions portfolio is in large part due to the go-to-market advantages our innovation capabilities and production-ready status provide ” said Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip, “We are delighted to be a partner of AFRL and ISL on edge AI and machine learning. We believe the combination of technologies will help accelerate the deployment of AI in the field.”
Akida is currently licensed as IP and is also available to order for chip production. It focuses on low power consumption and high performance, supports sensory processing, and is suitable for applications that benefit artificial intelligence, as well as applications such as smart healthcare, smart cities, smart transportation, and smart homes.
