A cross-disciplinary team of researchers from the Universities of York, Cardiff, Manchester, Stirling, and Southampton are working together on an exciting EPSRC-funded project, Edgy Organism, to develop a novel design methodology, neural network architecture, and efficient neuromorphic hardware system for autonomous monitoring and alerting in uncertain environments. A novel end-to-end neuromorphic design approach based on spiking neural networks (SNNs) will be developed, drawing inspiration from how data is processed and represented in the brain. Low power and small form factor requirements will be met by targeting the cutting-edge Intel Loihi device as target hardware platform.
Edgy Organism is a co-creational project encompassing electronic engineering, neuroscience, and computer science to deliver innovation across disciplines with the aims to develop novel computing solutions for the defence and security sector, that can autonomously and reliably detect illegal or harmful activities in crowded public spaces, with minimum intrusion of personal space and privacy, over long periods of time.
