How Neuromorphic Computing Will Help Industries Drive AI at the Edge

Accenture’s session at Intel Labs Day

In December 2020, our team of neuromorphic researchers from Accenture Labs was pleased to participate in the Intel Labs Day Press Event, where we briefly discussed our perspective on neuromorphic computing, and presented three of the proof-of-concepts that we’ve been working on with clients and collaborators from industry and academia.

Accenture Labs joined the Intel Neuromorphic Research Community as one of the first enterprise partners because my team and I see tremendous promise in using neuromorphic technologies to deliver responsive, adaptive, energy-efficient AI at the edge. This can enable our clients to create smart products and environments that are more autonomous and easier to interact with.

Our most important role in the neuromorphic research community is to help shape R&D experimentation at the application level. We do that by having conversations with our clients about their path to change, and the role that edge-AI can play in that journey. Many of our clients have yet to hear of neuromorphic computing, but when we look closely, we often find that they are seeking the type of edge AI capability that neuromorphic technology can provide.

We also collaborate closely with neuromorphic researchers at universities around the world. We participate in projects that build and pilot prototypes that prove out neuromorphic’s ability to help address the needs of our clients and their customers — need.

This is a video of our session, including three proof-of-concept demos that we and our collaborators have been working on. These projects illustrate the use of neuromorphic processing for voice-command recognition, full-body gesture classification, and adaptive control for mobile robots.
