Edgy Organism (2024-2026)
Project Overview
This project creates low-power sensing systems using spiking neural networks to detect threats in public spaces.
Edgy Organism develops electronic surveillance systems utilising spiking neural networks (SNNs) to detect and alert anomalous behaviour or identify individuals posing a threat in crowded public spaces. The system employs neuromorphic hardware like Intel Loihi and True North, drawing inspiration from biological nervous systems to create autonomous, low-power, and efficient monitoring systems.
The project demonstrates capabilities through two operational scenarios: Stand-off (satellite-based pattern observation) and Leave-behind (covert proximity surveillance). It applies principles from the visual cortex and hippocampal-entorhinal grid-cell systems to develop high-dimensional cognitive maps capable of representing and detecting anomalies in patterns of life.
