At the Intel Developer Forum on Tuesday, the company released a new hardware product, a ready-made drone; specifically, it is a four-axis aircraft, and its target audience is software developers. Not an amateur or commercial drone operator.
Intel's drone is an assembled, off-the-shelf product that runs on Intel's Aero computing platform, runs on a Linux operating system, uses a RealSense camera, and comes pre-loaded with the software development kit for Santa Monica startup AirMap. In general, AirMap helps drone users to fly drones in safe and legal areas.
Other chip makers, such as Nvidia, Ambarella and Qualcomm, have been vying for a share of the domestic and international drone market – a market that has grown rapidly but has not yet been clearly regulated.
However, the vendor's approach is to sell their microprocessors to other hardware manufacturers, including manufacturing drones, cameras and other systems that are integrated into drones for enhanced functionality, typically for image capture and Aviation data collection company.
For example, Anba provides chips for the built-in camera of the DJI Innovative UAV and the GoPro camera, which can be installed on the 3D RoboTIcs drone. Qualcomm's Snapdragon Flight platform and 4K cameras are used in other drones. For example, Tencent has partnered with Zero Intelligence to launch “Yingâ€, which can transmit data to Tencent's social media platform QQ in flight. And WeChat.
Intel is also a stakeholder in some drone startups, including: Yuneec (the company's drones can automatically avoid obstacles in a narrow flight space), Airware (the company developed a set for commercial drones) Operating system) and PrecisionHawk (the company introduced a fixed-wing drone and developed software for agricultural and other commercial drones).
In addition, Intel acquired Ascending Technologies in January this year, an automatic flight technology company from Germany.
Intel's AirMap software development kit in its Aero quadcopter is a big plus for the latter – AirMap was formed at a closed-door developer conference held this week in Santa Monica, California. of.
At present, AirMap has become a partner of DJI, the leading manufacturer of drones, and a partner of 3D RoboTIcs and Aeryon Labs.
On Tuesday, the startup's CEO, Ben Marcus, told TechCrunch that AirMap's mission is "to make drones a part of everyday life."
He said that if there is no aerospace management system that covers the low-altitude areas of drones and feeds real-time information on flight conditions to drone operators, manufacturers and application developers, then no one The universal application of the machine is not safe to implement.
AirMap is also committed to providing real-time data to other stakeholders, such as airports and regulators that need to know about the flight of drones.
Intel's Aero drone will be available for purchase at the end of this year, but the company has not announced a specific sales date and price.
