DELFT, Netherlands, Mar 16, 2026 – Innatera and Joya Design announced that Joya Design has developed its first Pulsar-powered AI module, Joya EdgeCore. The module integrates neuromorphic processing based on Innatera’s brain-inspired architecture to deliver on-device audio intelligence. It is designed for portable smart products such as cribs, strollers, and other connected lifestyle devices. Joya EdgeCore will debut at AWE Shanghai 2026, showing how neuromorphic AI is moving from evaluation into commercial product development.
“With Innatera’s Pulsar chip and development ecosystem, our teams moved seamlessly from concept to product,” says Liao Ke, founder of Joya Design. “The new module is designed to simplify integration for OEMs looking to add always-on intelligence without redesigning their entire system architecture. We see strong potential across baby monitoring, smart home accessories, and next-generation portable devices where responsiveness, privacy, and power efficiency must coexist.”
A New Level of Integration for Neuromorphic Audio Intelligence for Physical AI
The Joya EdgeCore module brings neuromorphic processing into a hardware platform using Innatera’s Pulsar microcontroller. The module enables on-device contextual audio intelligence for compact, battery-powered products. A baby-cry classification application shows how the platform analyzes audio events on the device. Joya Design developed the module using Innatera’s architecture to support edge AI sensing. The design provides OEMs a way to integrate intelligent audio processing into consumer electronics.
“We introduced Pulsar with the vision of enabling a smarter and safer world with our ambient intelligence. This vision has turned into reality through Joya Design’s innovative devices that impact our daily lives positively,” says Sumeet Kumar, CEO of Innatera. “This module shows how brain-inspired architectures can transition rapidly from silicon innovation to shipping-ready platforms. Working with Joya Design allows us to bring neuromorphic AI into tangible products faster, delivering on our promise for a better, smarter future.”
Enabling OEMs to Build the Intelligent Consumer Devices
Joya Design developed the Pulsar-based module as an integrated hardware building block for products that require on-device AI processing. The architecture allows OEMs to add intelligent sensing to devices without increasing system complexity. Innatera said OEMs and ODMs exploring neuromorphic AI deployments can evaluate Pulsar-powered solutions for future consumer electronics designs.
