EETimes article about Prophesee's new CEO's plans:
Few quotes:
“We have the sensor, defined use cases, and the full-stack demonstration, [including] machine learning models to software integration in platforms such as Raspberry Pi,” Ferré said. “What probably [has been] missing is the scale of the business and demonstration of value.”
“Our technology is fantastic, but the way to make money with it…probably needed a bit of tuning, so this is what we’re doing,” he added.
“I’ve been on the phone with one of our integrators for Electronic Supervision System cameras, and they said, ‘we’ve never sold so many evaluation kits in so many industries—drones, manufacturing’. There’s traction [here]…this is huge.”
When asked about acquisition potential—given the recent SynSense-iniVation merger, and myriad market heavyweights—he replied: “We’re talking to very powerful players. They are not looking to buy us.”
This finally looks reasonable
ReplyDeletesaying that human eye works this is totally wrong.
ReplyDeleteThe article does not say "human eye works [like an event sensor]."
DeleteIt's perfectly reasonable to say that an event sensor is an attempt to mimic what the human eye does.
what ? from where ?
DeleteLet's see if the the issue is a lack of experience of the CEO or if the technology is too disruptive and coming to market too early. The powerful players are those who already made some parternship and/or jda's and took the information they need.
ReplyDeleteCurrent sensors are already obsolete, time for innovating further with high caliber people (not with the current VP sensor) and be very careful on protecting the IP's like stmicro is doing, you shall see dramatic changes.
I think it resolves a fraction of problems in a long computation chain. that is why it cannot find real applications after so much ressource invested inside.
