Company Performance Metrics
Neurobus specializes in neuromorphic computing solutions that provide embedded, frugal AI designed for minimal energy consumption and direct integration into host systems like drones and satellites. The company's technology processes data locally, eliminating the need to transfer data to centers. Neurobus's innovation lies in its
biologically-inspired neuromorphic system, drawing inspiration from the human brain and retina to create energy-efficient processors and sensors. The technology mimics the brain's neural structures, enabling ML with 10x lower latency and power consumption that is reduced by 10 to potentially 1000 times in space applications.
The company's neuromorphic solution offers real-time detection, tracking, and identification capabilities with low power consumption, and is robust to difficult lighting conditions. Neurobus's low-latency systems enable accurate tracking and docking with other vessels in orbit and can operate autonomously, removing the need for a human operator on the ground. The technology combines event-based vision sensors and AI processors for real-time detection and tracking, enabling ultra-fast, autonomous decision-making with minimal latency and power consumption by leveraging edge computing and processing data directly on the device.
Neurobus assembles components and develops tailored software layers to meet specific manufacturer needs, positioning itself as an integrator and software publisher. The company initially focused on the space sector, partnering with Airbus Defense and Space, the European Space Agency, and the French Space Agency. It has since adapted its technology to the drone sector and won a European defense innovation competition for its drone detection solution.
The technology enables drones to execute missions more independently, making real-time decisions with minimal human oversight. While its present application is primarily focused on defense, Neurobus foresees a future in the civilian domain, particularly in applications like autonomous drone delivery services. In 2024, Neurobus generated roughly EUR 600,000 in revenue from R&D contracts, excluding public subsidies.
