We know that Tata is committed to using AKIDA.
" Tata Elxsi’s partnership with BrainChip will be driving Akida™ technology into medical devices and industrial applications by leveraging BrainChip’s first-to-market, fully digital, neuromorphic technology to provide intelligent, low-power solutions to these demanding target markets."
link: https://brainchip.com/brainchip-and... –,as a partner to its Essential AI ecosystem.

Arijit Mukherjee of Tata (TCS) co authored several papers that focus on BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic platform and Edge AI.
I asked AI " What are the potential uses that TATA can put the findings of the reports to and what is the liklihood of this happenning and timeframes for development up to commercial launch"
Its AI so take care especially with estimated dates of commercial readiness of products.
The real take away is it gives us confidence that Tata will produce the 'goods' as it said in the partnership ann.

Potential Applications of the Findings​

Below is an overview of how Tata (TCS/Tata Elxsi) can leverage each report’s results, the likelihood of adoption, and estimated timelines from development to commercial rollout.


1. On-board Cloud-Cover Detection for Small Satellites​

Key Capability: Real-time, low-power filtering of cloudy frames before downlink using Akida’s spiking neural network.

  • Use Cases
    • Earth-observation nanosatellite constellations for agricultural monitoring, disaster response and environmental sensing
    • Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performing on-the-fly scene selection to conserve bandwidth
  • Likelihood of Adoption • Medium – High. TCS has deep ties with satellite integrators and government space programs; initial pilots likely within R&D divisions.
  • Timeframe
    1. 2024–2025: Prototype integration on demonstration CubeSat platforms
    2. 2026–2027: First commercial small-sat constellations offering “smart downlink” as a service

2. Embedded Edge-AI Engines for Autonomous Systems​

Based on: “Creating Futuristic Edge Systems with Neuromorphic Computing” white paper

  • Use Cases
    • Autonomous vehicles: event-driven obstacle and gesture detection to boost safety and reduce latency
    • Industrial robots and factory automation: ultra-low-power vision tasks (defect detection, motion tracking)
    • Smart cameras and wearables: always-on sign-language translators and interactive HMI
  • Likelihood of Adoption • High. Tata Elxsi’s current partnership with BrainChip targets medical and industrial segments, indicating strong commercial intent.
  • Timeframe
    1. 2024: Edge-AI dev kits with Akida engines for select OEMs
    2. 2025–2026: Full-scale deployment in automotive ADAS modules and factory vision systems
    3. 2026–2028: Consumer-grade wearables and AR/VR devices with embedded spiking-NN inference

3. Real-Time Gesture Recognition in Human-Machine Interfaces​

Demo: NeurIPS 2019 hands-on (DVS camera → Akida SNN)

  • Use Cases
    • Touchless controls in smart homes, medical consoles, and public kiosks
    • VR/AR gesture interfaces with sub-millisecond response
    • Sign-language detection for accessibility tools
  • Likelihood of Adoption • Medium. While the demo proves feasibility, embedding into mass-market devices requires partnerships with HMI vendors and UI standards bodies.
  • Timeframe
    1. 2024: Pilot integrations with niche HMI/medical console suppliers
    2. 2025–2026: SDK release for consumer-electronics partners
    3. 2026–2027: Products shipping with turnkey gesture-AI features

I believe this confirmation of an “active alliance” with BrainChip is new on the Tata Elxsi website?

Why Tata Elxsi?

(…)
  • Active alliances with Brainchip for neuromorphic computing and IISc Bangalore for edge cybersecurity.”
