自行车虽小，“五脏”俱全

Nature在对该研究的介绍中肯定了“天机芯”应用于无人驾驶自行车的试验。

研究人员将芯片安装到无人自行车，来证明该芯片的强大功能和潜力。这款无人自行车能自我平衡，具有声控功能，可探测并避开障碍物。这都是“天机”芯片能同时处理多种算法和模型的强大功能。

The researchers demonstrate the potential of this approach by incorporating one of their chips into a riderless autonomous bicycle, which can self-balance, is voice controllable and can detect and avoid obstacles, all as a result of the Tianjic chip's simultaneous processing of versatile algorithms and models.

Synced Review报道称，这款搭载“天机芯”的无人自行车系统，还装备了IMU传感器、摄像头、转向电机、驱动电机、调速电机和电池等，使其能执行实时目标探测、跟踪、语音命令识别、过障、自动避障、自平衡和自主决策等行为。

Equipped with the Tianjic chip and IMU sensor, a camera, steering motor, driving motor, speed motor and battery, the bicycle was tasked with performing functions such as real-time object detection, tracking, voice-command recognition, riding over a speed bump, obstacle avoidance, balance control and decision making.

研究团队开发了多种神经网络来完成每项任务。这些模型经过预先训练并编程到“天机芯”上，“天机芯”可并行处理这些模型，实现多种模型之间的无缝片上通信。

The research team developed a variety of neural networks (CNN, CANN, SNN and MLP networks) to enable each task. The models were pretrained and programmed onto the Tianjic chip, which can process the models in parallel and enable seamless on-chip communication across different models.

施路平认为，人工通用智能芯片能够成功，多学科深度融合才是关键。

研究团队介绍，他们希望“天机芯”可被用于无人驾驶汽车和智能机器人上。他们已经开始投入第二代芯片的研究，研发阶段预计会在明年初结束。

The research team told Chinese media they expect the Tianjic chip to be deployed in autonomous vehicles and smart robots. They have already started research on the next-generation chips and expect to close the R&D stage early next year.

加油！中国芯！
