Intel’s neuromorphic chip learns to ‘smell’ 10 hazardous chemicals

[ad_1] Using Intel’s Loihi, a neuromorphic chip, the team designed an algorithm based on the brain’s olfactory circuit. When you take a whiff of something, molecules stimulate olfactory cells in your nose. Those cells send signals to the brain’s olfactory system, which then fires off electrical pulses. The researchers were able to mimic that circuitry […]

Intel’s ultra-efficient AI chips can power prosthetics and self-driving cars

[ad_1] The Loihi chips are installed on a “Nahuku” board that contains from 8 to 32 Loihi chips. The Pohoiki Beach system contains multiple Nahuku boards that can be interfaced with Intel’s Arria 10 FPGA developer’s kit, as shown above. Pohoiki Beach will be very good at neural-like tasks including sparse coding, path planning and […]
