The United States on November 16, 2016 in the evening local time, Santa Clara county, California, Disney. 300 marked "Intel" uav gearing up in deserted places. 
 
The whole team is like this: five or six unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) share a launch pad, each other about 1 inch apart. Charging them lying there quietly, and looked relaxed. Hours later, walk back to the sun, 300 were under the command of the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) on the same computer from the ground, the scene, a reminder of the collective migration under the princes decree monarchs of America... 
 
Subsequently, the drones started the long-awaited aerial ballet. Giant of 3 d design phase appeared in the night sky, leaving a large group of science and technology media reporters on the ground back neck open mouth to wait and see, and their faces as if to tell you: you didn't come is a sin.

Wait for launch a Shooting Star 
 
This cooperation, Disney is absolute in a supporting role. All reported in almost all repeat the same content: Intel's Shooting Stars (yes, this is the unity of those drones) with unprecedented squad over the Disney staged a light show, the entire performance perfect, reveal the Intel in unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) in the field of power and ambition... Disney? Uh...... It is likely to be a provider. 
 
 
 
Ok, dilettante watch the scene of bustle, adept guard the entrance. If you see the incomparable light show, then I'll come to tell you: behind the length but twenty minutes show, Intel and Intel engineers flashed out what kind of technology, capital, and the performance of Intel's competitors and the whole world of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) in terms of what it means. 
 
Recover more lost ground in the field of uav 
 
In the development of nearly half a century, the established giants like Intel and Microsoft have been due to hide within the walls of the self assembled not seize the opportunity in front of the real mobile era. 
 
Wait until the wall is finally removed, mobile era only a tail. 
 
Later, Intel has made different choices and Microsoft, Microsoft is where to fall where to climb up, dancing in tail on the top, Intel is simply give up mobile chip business, to turn to other still is a piece of blue ocean areas, such as unmanned (the recently announced that cooperate with BMW), fusion reality (new Alloy wearing equipment allegedly explodes the existing AR/VR), as well as unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs). 
 
According to introducing, Intel on the research of the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) began in 2014. In September that year, Intel announced with American drones startup 3 d Robotics (3 Dr) cooperation, will develop the Edison chips. 
 
The chip size, although only stamps but all-sided, due to containing a piece of Intel Atom processor, a Quark MCU (Atom), 1 gb of ram and 4 gb flash memory, and bluetooth and wi-fi communication module, low power consumption and has the unique sensing function of Intel, it can become a "brain" of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav). 
 
In November the same year, Intel spent $10 million investment in a start-up company PrecisionHawk. It is understood that the company can provide data collection for commercial drones and security monitoring, etc. That is to say, from then on, Intel and start to prepare to enter the commercial field of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav). 
 
At the beginning of 2015, Intel in CES conference with one of the world four unmanned aircraft makers AscTec signed a cooperation agreement, announced that it would develop unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) technology of intelligent obstacle avoidance. 
 
In may the same year, Intel investment Airware a startup, set out to provide commercial unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) development platform. 
 
Three months later, Intel will cost more than $6000 invested in Chinese drone manufacturers HaoXiang (Yuneec). 
 
Again 3 months later, Intel again poured $16.7 billion takeover of Altera company, its amount is one of the largest ever acquisition. 
 
This acquisition seems to be associated with unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) is not, but it's not. According to netease science and technology introduction, Altera corporation is a leading global FPGA (field programmable logic gate array) technology provider, for many of the top six rotor, eight rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) to provide a solution. And with the continuous improvement of technology, reduce the cost and energy consumption of the technology will be more widely applied in the field of small unmanned aircraft. 
 
 
 
Then there is this year, Intel, respectively, completed the AscTec and MAVinci acquisition. At this point, both of the four unmanned aircraft manufacturers in the world have been Intel "touch"; In this there is no king of ecological field, the title of "Intel" at the beginning of a piece of territory has grown up. 
 
Busy brush presence 
 
One side is intensive acquisitions and investments, a research is no white black. Seems to be holding a revenge mentality, Intel's determination to take out the opponent in the shortest possible time "wow" products, leading a foothold enclosure unmanned aerial vehicle (uav). 
 
CES exhibition 2016, Intel use drones Yuneec TyphoonH debut intelligent obstacle avoidance; A week later, Intel in linz, Austria, and manipulation of the 100 drone to the light show, created a new guinness world record on the spot; 
 
Nine months later, Intel announced to launch its first commercial rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) - Intel Falcon8 + System. 
 
In early November, 500 Shooting Star successfully in the global ecological summit at the same time launch (what's it like to break his own record); 
 
Until today, Disney course hero, selected Intel will become the leading role of "holiday" star show myself. 
 
Big challenge to xinjiang, Intel can win the drone war? 
 
Let's look at from Yuneec TyphoonH to Intel? Falcon8 + system to the Shooting Star, in less than two years, Intel realized what technology leap. 
 
: 1) sensing Technology (Real Sense Technology) and no matter how big jiang accused Intel at the scene of the CES fraud that set out how to settle, the mysterious Technology is finally got around. Say simply, the technology is to make the machine with maximum depth perception function for complex environments for human beings. 
 
Specific to unmanned aircraft, its working principle is this: a pair of can launch infrared camera to play the role of the human eye, they will capture the surrounding information transmitted to the uav's brain -- chip, chip according to the information for the things one by one then generate the corresponding 3 d point cloud data, and according to these data to determine these things the size, thickness, distance, color and so on. 
 
At present, the 3 d point cloud data of the Intel unmanned aerial vehicle (uav), to update the 60 frames per second and every frame after 300000 times of calculation. So, the calculation of 18 million times per second. 
 
2) with the Intel Falcon8 uavs + into the commercial market. It's Intel's first unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) for independent brands, window mainly as follows: the GSD precision of camera system for millimeter, very suitable for aerial and data acquisition; The highest speed of 56.33 km/h, far from the supermarket on the amateur level of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav); With pre-installed AscTec Trinity autonomous flight control system, automation airspace perception system and triple inertial measurement unit, can reduce the chances of the airline is caused by company's fault. And weighs only 6 pounds (2.72 kg), and so on. 
 
3) Shooting Star of the show, the performer is 300 drones, but behind the command system is supposed to be the largest contributor. 
 
According to Intel engineers, based on Altera and MAVinci technology provided by the company and make out the command system, a maximum at the same time control 10000 drone, so this time is really profound. It is understood that the system can according to the input image how many drones to decide, if you want to change the air modelling, the operator need to replace the images on the computer, the system will be independent from the extra drones, and extinguish the light. 
 
In this show, 300 drone spacing between each other sometimes less than 1.5 meters, and the top speed is reached 8 m/s, they have no crash, simply because they plan at the moment the command system in a line. The small screen on the ground, each power, location, and running condition of the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) panoramic view. 
 
Although after the performance they don't matter to fall back into the original launch position, but the command system has been designated for them two lines. Once they lose control over the first line, the command system will immediately issued a recall of instruction, if they "capricious" blindly, continue to cross-border, command system will immediately shut down their engine, its fall.

These specially designed for unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) ShangYan build, is also a bright blind eye on all kinds of data. 
 
Every drone, for example, using the flexible foam and no screw structure design, not only super light weight (280 g) only, but also convenient for assembly (no more than 15 minutes); In addition, the built-in leds can also according to the RGBW (red, green, blue, white) pixel spectrum and create 4 billion kinds of color combination, can meet the needs of the various ShangYan light show. 
 
"We rushed and the whole team the whole body and mind, day and night...... from at the beginning of 100 to 500 earlier this month, to now in earnest, we realized the landmark leap."

Starting from Intel, unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs) have the possibility of more 
 
In Intel's view, unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs) is the future of the super computing platform, can for agriculture, insurance, construction, mining, and many other industries to provide solutions. Its decades of cumulative chip manufacturing experience and strong assets, make the night a giant into the bureau in xinjiang and Parrot before pioneer poised. 
 
The lights of the show is on the announced to the rival nations: Intel in the field of future uavs to become worthy of Kings, want to be together with the three points, you have to refuel.
