What Is an AI-Lego-Block (ALB)?
An AI-Lego-Block, or ALB, is the atomic unit of ERN-AI. Each ALB is a micro-scale neuromorphic processing element developed from the neurology of honeybees, whose visual systems perform sophisticated motion detection, navigation, and classification on a brain of roughly one million neurons and a power budget measured in microwatts.
lower power than equivalent frame-based processing
trained on local micro-data, not on centralized datasets
executing at the sensor rather than in the cloud
How ALBs Compose into ERN-AI Software
ERN-AI software is assembled from arrays of ALBs, configured to the requirements of the deployment. The composition is modular, scalable, distributed, and decentralized — there is no central inference bottleneck, and array size can be matched to the complexity of the scene rather than fixed at design time.
What Is NESA?
NESA (Neuromorphic Edge Sensing Array) is NuMorph's vision sensing array architecture. It organizes ALB arrays into a layered sensing structure that is evolutionary and reconfigurable in real time — the array can restructure its own processing topology as scene conditions change, without redeployment or retraining.
Intellectual Property Status
ERN-AI is patent pending. Proof-of-concept demonstrations have been completed and are available for review under NDA.
