Joya Design Takes Neuromorphic Chip from Design to Device with First Innatera-Powered Consumer Audio Product at AWE China

Following the collaboration, Joya Design rapidly integrates Innatera’s Pulsar chip into a new ready-to-deploy AI module

Delft, The Netherlands – March 25, 2026 – Innatera, a leader in brain-like computing for ultra-low-power edge AI, and Joya Design, a national industrial design center, today announced that Joya Design has successfully developed its first Pulsar-powered AI module (Joya EdgeCore ®), marking a significant step forward in the real-world deployment of neuromorphic technologies. The new module will make its debut at AWE Shanghai 2026 (Appliance & Electronics World Expo), demonstrating how neuromorphic processing is moving beyond evaluation and into real product design. Engineered for portable smart products such as cribs, strollers, and other connected lifestyle devices, the module introduces advanced on-device audio intelligence built around Innatera’s brain-inspired architecture.

“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 advances commercialization by turning neuromorphic innovation into a ready-to-integrate platform powered by Innatera’s Pulsar microcontroller. It enables on-device contextual audio intelligence, with a debut baby-cry classification application showcasing nuanced awareness in compact, battery-powered products. By combining Joya’s productization expertise with Innatera’s event-driven architecture, the module gives OEMs a streamlined path to integrate intelligent sensing into next-generation consumer devices.

“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 next generation of intelligent consumer devices

Joya Design’s Pulsar-based module reflects a shift toward integrated AI building blocks that help OEMs accelerate development while adding advanced on-device intelligence without increasing system complexity. OEMs and ODMs interested in deploying neuromorphic AI in upcoming products are invited to connect with Innatera to explore how Pulsar-powered solutions can enable faster design cycles and differentiated consumer experiences.
