BrainChip-Chelpis-Mirle team up on robotic cryptographic security
BrainChip Holdings Ltd has announced that Chelpis Quantum Corporation has selected its Akida AKD1000 chips as the processor to deliver built-in post-quantum cryptographic security.
Chelpis, a chip company leading the Quantum-Safe Migration ecosystem in Taiwan, is developing an M.2 card using the AKD1000 to be inserted into targeted products to support their cryptographic security. The M.2 card is based on a design from BrainChip and an agreement to purchase a significant number of AKD1000 chips for qualification and deployment. Upon completing this phase, Chelpis plans to increase its commitment with additional orders for the AKD1000.
Furthermore, this agreement is the first step in a collaboration exploring the development of an AI-based post-quantum cryptographic security robotic chip designed to fulfil next-generation security and AI computing requirements. This project is a joint development effort with Chelpis partner company Mirle, and it has been formally submitted for consideration under Taiwan’s chip innovation program. The funding aims to promote a new system-on-chip (SoC) that integrates RISC-V, PQC, and NPU technologies. This SoC will specifically support manufacturing markets that emphasise a Made-in-USA strategy. Miller plans to build autonomous quadruped robotics that mimic the movements of four-legged animals for industrial and factory environments. Chelpis is exploring BrainChip’s advanced Akida™ IP to incorporate advanced visual GenAI capabilities into the proposed SoC design to achieve this.
“The ability to add Edge AI security capabilities to our industrial robotics project that provides the low power data processing required is paramount to successfully achieving market validation in the robotics sector,” said Ming Chih, CEO of Chelpis. “We believe that BrainChip’s Akida is just the solution we need to bring our SoC to fruition. Their event-based processing and advanced models are a strong foundation for developing a platform for manufacturing customers looking to leverage advanced robotics in their facilities.”
“Akida’s ability to efficiently provide cyber-security acceleration with energy efficiency can help secure autonomous robotic devices,” said Sean Hehir, CEO of BrainChip. “Akida’s innovative approach to supporting LLMs and GenAI algorithms could serve as a key contributor to Chelpis as they pursue government funding to develop their SoC and advance their industrial robotic initiatives.”
