We are working on the cutting edge of practical
Artificial Learning Machines – machines that learn from and adapt to their
environment. Our aim is to manufacture ALMs in hardware as compact
and efficient as biological brains.
We were inspired by the brains of real pigeons – why is
it so hard to build man-made machines as capable as these natural
learning machines? Biological brains have volume and power densities a
million times better than the common computers of today, when machines as
complex and fast as a pigeon’s brain are the size of a warehouse. We
want to make ALMs that are light, low-power machines that can sit in the
palm of your hand. In April 2010, we began developing an exciting but
feasible vision for how to achieve these million-fold improvements and we
are now drawing a roadmap to get there.
Pigeon Consortium is bringing together the theory,
technology, skills and inspiration to make this happen. Our immediate
aim is to design, fabricate and demonstrate world-leading prototypes in a
scalable technology with applications in wide global markets. We will
strive to transfer our intellectual property to industry within 5
years.
