How Innatera is Revolutionizing Low-Power AI with Neuromorphic Chips

EDGE AI POD

What happens when we redesign computing hardware to work more like the human brain? The results are transformative for edge AI.
Sumit Kumar from Inatera takes us inside the world of neuromorphic computing – a revolutionary approach that's bringing brain-like intelligence directly to sensors. Born from research at Delft University of Technology, Inatera is tackling one of the most significant challenges in modern technology: how to perform complex AI tasks on battery-powered devices without draining power.
The key lies in spiking neural networks that are fundamentally different from conventional AI approaches. These event-driven networks operate with computational dynamics that mimic brain function, resulting in models 100 times smaller than traditional AI while consuming just a fraction of the power. For applications like video doorbells, acoustic scene classification, and wearable healthcare, this means continuous monitoring with millisecond latency at just a few milliwatts – outperforming traditional microcontrollers by at least 10x.
Beyond current applications, neuromorphic computing opens entirely new possibilities. The technology excels not just with conventional vision but with radar sensors and other modalities, particularly in privacy-sensitive situations. Robotics represents another frontier, where neuromorphic systems can enhance environmental perception, process complex sensor fusion, and enable low-latency control. Through academic partnerships and industry collaboration via the Edge AI Foundation, Inatera is helping build the ecosystem that will make neuromorphic computing as ubiquitous as neural networks are today. The future of edge AI may indeed be neuromorphic.
