Imec Builds World’s First Spiking Neural Network-Based Chip for Radar Signal Processing

Flagship use-case includes the creation of a smart, low-power anti-collision radar system for drones that identifies approaching objects in a matter of milliseconds
April 29, 2020

LEUVEN (Belgium), April 28, 2020 — Imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, today presents the world’s first chip that processes radar signals using a spiking recurrent neural network. Mimicking the way groups of biological neurons operate to recognize temporal patterns, imec’s chip consumes 100 times less power than traditional implementations while featuring a tenfold reduction in latency – enabling almost instantaneous decision-making. For example, micro-Doppler radar signatures can be classified using only 30 μW of power. While the chip’s architecture and algorithms can easily be tuned to process a variety of sensor … Read More → "Imec Builds World’s First Spiking Neural Network-Based Chip for Radar Signal Processing"
