Intel Pushes Drone Aero Platform

Intel held the Intel Information Technology Summit 2016 (IDF16) in Shenzhen. IDF is a platform for Intel’s future technology, development trends, and exploration of innovation opportunities. This year, it demonstrated a number of new technologies and products, including the Aero platform for drones. , External support for SSD storage, LTE communications, real sense technology vision, and more powerful software support. Mainly for developers, through the Aero platform, with Intel chips full of resources for the developer's drones to do a variety of personalized customization, so that drones have more possibilities.

As early as the 2016 CES show, Intel had collaborated with Yuneec, an unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturer, to demonstrate the revolutionary barrier technology of Typhoon H, which used Intel's RealSense hardware and software to match the collision avoidance technology. Intel's own Aero platform is expected to implement RealSense on the platform, allowing more developers to use Intel's latest technology, customize their own drones, expand the market of drones, and create a business of their own Ecosphere.

Qualcomm, which is also a US chip maker, is also very much concerned with the development of the UAV market. The recent news from Qualcomm has finally won the UAV flight rights over U.S. headquarters after a year and a half of applications. According to the news, as early as more than a year ago, Qualcomm had already initiated the application for flying rights of UAVs and used up to eight documents to prove that their drones did not cause interference in the fields of aviation and transportation. The U.S. federal government eventually obtained permission to conduct drone experiments within the airspace of the headquarters.

For Intel’s strong rivals, Qualcomm took advantage of mobile chips, and at the 2016 CES show, Qualcomm and Zero Intelligence and Tencent, respectively, brought unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with their own processors. And power control are very advantageous, but this time in their own headquarters to get a license to fly, Qualcomm will be able to more freely implement their own product debugging, give more features, do not rule out the introduction of their own Machine products.

Looking at the current technology market, drones have maintained a rapid growth, and have been hailed as potential areas other than mobile phones. Each of the big and small scientific and technological people is eyeing it, constantly strengthening and innovating in all aspects to find the flashpoints. In the future life, drones will surely be more intelligent, not only capable of aerial photography, but also able to understand our ideas, become part of life, and improve our living standards. These creations are always inseparable from computer operations and procedures. Optimized settings and self-learning, and the main control chip is more important, the status may be gradually improved, Qualcomm and Intel are fancy this point, do not know that Apple will not create their own drone, once again redefine no one Machine?
