BrainChip debuts edge AI box with partner ecosystem for gesture, security and vision
BrainChip has launched the Akida Edge AI Box, a compact AI/ML processing appliance for various industries.
The Akida Edge AI Box is developed in partnership with VVDN Technologies and features an embedded Linux solution with multiple connectivity options including ethernet, bluetooth, and USB interfaces to provide a complete edge AI computing platform based on Brainchip’s Akida AKD1000 IC.
Key partners include Edge Impulse for model training, BeEmotion for gesture recognition, AI Labs for climate solutions, and Quantum Ventura for cybersecurity.
“The Akida Edge Box is a great platform for running AI in standalone edge environments where footprint, cost and efficiency is critical, while not compromising performance,” says Sean Hehir, BrainChip CEO. “We look forward to announcing more partners developing edge AI for their customers’ specific use cases and more importantly, we look forward to the ideas these companies will bring to life with the Akida Edge AI Box.”
The device utilizes dual Akida processors for on-chip learning, enhancing application security and reducing training overhead. It is designed for energy efficiency and can be used in diverse applications, such as healthcare monitoring and retail analytics.
BrainChip’s technology mimics human brain learning, enabling low-latency solutions without heavy computational resources.
The Akida platform supports integration into existing designs and facilitates the deployment of multi-modal AI models at the edge.
BrainChip also recently launched the Akida Pico, the lowest power AI acceleration co-processor designed for ultra-low power, portable devices in various sectors including consumer, healthcare, and IoT.
BrainChip aims to lead in Edge AI processing, emphasizing the importance of on-chip AI for privacy, security, and efficiency.
