Introduction to HDC

HDC (Hyper-Dimensional Computing) is a computational approach that represents and processes information in high-dimensional vector space. It is designed similarly to how the human brain distributes and stores information across many neurons, enabling rapid information retrieval.


In 2023, Quanta Magazine recognized HDC as one of the three major innovations in computer science, and in 2024, Bank of America named it as one of the five major innovations in artificial intelligence.


Compared to conventional AI algorithms, HDC offers faster training and inference speeds, and it can operate smoothly even on relatively low-spec computing devices.

As such, HDC can be applied to a wide range of fields such as autonomous driving and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and is particularly well-suited for on-device AI implementations.


Coga Robotics aims to develop efficient robot AI and AI solutions based on HDC.

HDC Advantage

01


Energy Efficiency


Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) processes information using simple vector operations, resulting in low computational demands. It is represented in binary values, which means it has low complexity. As a result, it is highly energy-efficient with minimal computational resources and performs well even in low-power environments.

02


Real-Time Processing


HDC offers high computational efficiency and fast search speeds. The process of learning by integrating new information into existing hypervectors is straightforward, allowing HDC-based AI to handle learning, computation, and various operations swiftly and in real-time.


03


Data Resilience


HDC can easily recover the overall information even if some of the data distributed across the hypervectors is lost. This becomes a significant advantage in environments where data loss or distortion can occur.



Technology Utilizing HDC  

HDC RAG


To enhance the reliability of generative AI, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) is becoming an essential technology.

RAG defines the scope of information that AI can reference when generating responses, enabling the system to search large-scale data accurately and efficiently, and deliver reliable information to users.


HDC (Hyper-Dimensional Computing) is optimized for processing large-scale data, and this characteristic creates strong synergy with RAG.
Coga Robotics has implemented an HDC-based RAG system, delivering fast and accurate generative AI solutions.

HDC Robotics


Coga Robotics is developing robot AI technology based on HDC to enable robots to operate more intelligently and efficiently.


Through HDC technology, we are building an RFM (Robot Foundation Model) that allows robots to understand, remember, and act upon environmental information — processing the entire workflow both efficiently and accurately.
