Neuromorphic processors for ultra-low-power, low-latency edge AI MoreLess

SynSense is a leading player in the field of neuromorphic intelligence, leveraging over two decades of expertise from the University of Zürich and ETH Zürich. The company specializes in creating ultra-low power consumption, ultra-low latency inference Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Intellectual Property (IP) blocks. In simpler terms, they create specialized computer chips and designs that mimic the human brain's neural structure, providing faster and more energy-efficient computing solutions.

SynSense operates in the artificial intelligence (AI) edge computing market, serving clients across various sectors, including robotics, healthcare, and animal wearables. Their unique neuromorphic technology addresses the limitations of conventional AI applications, such as high power consumption, latency, and cost. For instance, in robotics, their technology enhances perception, power efficiency, real-time performance, and intelligence. In healthcare, their solutions enable dynamic visual interaction at milliwatt-level power consumption, improving patient monitoring and privacy. For animal wearables, they offer an end-to-end solution that is low-cost, highly integrated, and energy-efficient.

The company's business model revolves around providing both hardware (ASICs and IP blocks) and full-stack application development services. They generate revenue by selling their ultra-efficient chips and licensing their IP blocks to other companies. They also offer development services to businesses looking to integrate neuromorphic technology into their applications.
