Qualcomm's new flight control chip supports drone indoor flight and air recognition objects

At this year's Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, drones occupied a lot of exhibition space. Among them, chip giant Qualcomm also demonstrated its latest flight control chip system, which has a certain machine learning ability to identify the objects encountered by the drone during flight.

UAVs have become one of the next technology booms, and Qualcomm, a chip maker, plans to take a slice of it. Qualcomm has launched the "Dragon's Drone Platform" with integrated chipset, which can serve as the control center for the entire drone.

Through machine learning technology, drones can automatically handle some of the emergencies encountered during the flight. In fact, other drone manufacturers have deployed some simple machine learning techniques, such as bypassing certain obstacles or tracking flights to an object in the sky, but the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform has more powerful processing. Ability to understand the high-altitude flight environment of drones and design a safe flight path.

At the Consumer Electronics Show site, the flight control system was demonstrated in an indoor environment at high altitude. It should be pointed out that the indoor environment does not support GPS, so Qualcomm's control ability in non-GPS environment is unusual. This technology can also be used for security inspection of buildings and warehouses in the future.

According to Qualcomm, the Snapdragon flight control system carried by the drone weighs only 12 grams, less than the weight of one battery. All UAV computing needs, including machine learning and flight control, are completely dependent on the processor in the system, eliminating the need for additional computing equipment.

It is reported that during the flight, the drone can identify many objects, such as a ladder, a large platform.

In the regulations of drones in various countries, there are many regulations for the control personnel to fly outside the line of sight or at night. The media pointed out that the automatic flight control and computing system of drones will become more and more important in the future.

In addition, at the Consumer Electronics Show, the US Federal Aviation Administration revealed that since the opening of the drone registration at the end of 2015, a total of 670,000 drones have been registered. It is comparable that since the registration of manned aircraft more than 100 years ago, only a total of 320,000 drones have been registered. (Compile / Dawn)
