Business Wire
EDGX, a Belgian SpaceTech company focused on developing
disruptive intelligent space systems, and BrainChip Holdings Ltd
(ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR: BCHPY), the world’s first commercial
producer of ultra-low power, fully digital, event-based,
neuromorphic AI IP, today announced a collaborative agreement to
develop data processing units for very demanding environments.
Space infrastructure is increasingly becoming more important in
our everyday lives. Satellite based services are fundamental to
global navigation, weather forecasting, secure communications,
climate monitoring, and for rapid response to natural disasters,
just to name a few. As the space industry is trying to become a
self-sustaining economy, satellite launches are booming. EDGX
recognized the growing demand and opportunity for product-driven
innovation within the space industry. EDGX is developing a new data
processing unit concept that mixes classic AI acceleration with
neuromorphic computing to decrease onboard AI power dissipation,
increase adaptability and ultimately enable autonomous learning
capabilities onboard next generation satellites.
“Imagine thousands of interconnected satellites powered by
next-generation AI technology inspired by the human brain, bringing
real-time data connectivity for both humans and machines here on
Earth. That’s what we envision at EDGX,” said Nick Destrycker,
Founder and CEO at EDGX. “This is where BrainChip’s Akida
technology comes into play, the event-based accelerator for AI at
the edge, which coincides perfectly with our vision in developing
brain-inspired data processing units for space.”
“We built the Akida roadmap with a vision to deliver
high-performance, ultra-low power, self-contained processing that
didn’t constantly need connection to the Cloud, which is critical
for constrained environments like space,” said Peter van der Made,
Founder and CTO at BrainChip. “BrainChip’s focus on combining
neuromorphic principles with the benefits of the deep learning
ecosystem, customization, and continuous learning, matches EDGX’s
requirements for disruptive technology. We are excited to partner
with them to truly push the boundaries of what is possible.”
EDGX and BrainChip are building up their partnership by signing
a Non-binding Memorandum of Understanding at European Space
Agency’s (ESA) EDHPC Conference, in Juan-les-Pins, France.
“What fascinates us the most about Akida is its capability to
run in two different modes: Firstly, Akida can run conventional
CNN, making it compatible with so many proven neural networks out
there. But then, running in event-based mode, it cuts down power
demand by orders of magnitude. And power is at premium in the space
environment. Event based processing may easily open a door into a
new realm of processing in space to do things which were not
possible before,” said Laurent Hili, Microelectronics and Data
Handling Engineer at ESA.

About BrainChip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN, OTCQX: BRCHF, ADR:
BCHPY)
BrainChip is the worldwide leader in Edge AI on-chip processing
and learning. The company’s first-to-market, fully digital,
event-based AI processor, Akida™, uses neuromorphic principles to
mimic the human brain, analyzing only essential sensor inputs at
the point of acquisition, processing data with unparalleled
efficiency, precision, and economy of energy. Akida uniquely
enables Edge learning local to the chip, independent of the cloud,
dramatically reducing latency while improving privacy and data
security. Akida Neural processor IP, which can be integrated into
SoCs on any process technology, has shown substantial benefits on
today’s workloads and networks, and offers a platform for
developers to create, tune and run their models using standard AI
workflows like Tensorflow/Keras. In enabling effective Edge compute
to be universally deployable across real world applications such as
connected cars, consumer electronics, and industrial IoT, BrainChip
is proving that on-chip AI, close to the sensor, is the future, for
its customers’ products, as well as the planet. Explore the
