As we all are fully aware, NASA has been busy working away with the Akida development kit they had been shipped:

NASA looks to BrainChip's spiking neural network chip for space

and as previously covered in this thread:

And for those lucky enough to have been around when I first discovered these SBIR proposals hidden away on the NASA website. You are welcome.


It seems we may have some VERY exciting news around the corner, if these various SBIR phase1 proposals have been successful in their missions. As @chapman89 has recently reminded me, the new set of proposals are expected to drop from NASA very shortly.... I wonder how many will feature our baby AKIDA


The actual schedule is available here:

So, personally, I am closely watching the two current projects running in NASA to progress to phase2

and also any new, exciting projects to appear in the list due to be release on Mar 18, 2021
