EPIC's wide-patent-granted AI Chip is the size of a grain of salt and can be embedded
into everyday objects to make them smarter. It is a Battery-free, Energy Harvesting
Sensor with Integrated pre-Quantum Super Position Processor and Artificial Intelligence
that communicates bi-directionally to the cloud through a gateway.
Our AI chip senses human action (like presence, gesture, and touch), physical forces
(temperature, pressure, vibration, humidity, etc.), chemical reaction and even vital signs
of any living organisms. Unlike momentarily activated systems, EPIC AI Chips are “always
on”. A plurality of our chips creates a self-organized collision free network, that acts like a
“superorganism” which scientists believe is the next step in Artificial Intelligence. Our
technology doesn’t rely on third-party components, which makes it ultra-affordable (due
to enormous cost savings) and therefore hard, if not useless to copy.
