MIT announces new chip technology to help micro-UAVs achieve energy saving and navigation

A few days ago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) released a new study that would extend the life of a micro drone for a longer period of time.

It is understood that the research team built a mini drone with only LEGO bricks, and its energy consumption is only one thousandth of a light bulb. In addition, they have also improved on a chip. Last year, the chip was small enough to fit into the "nano drone", while the optimized version was smaller and more powerful.

According to MIT, with this chip, micro drones can also be navigated in remote, unreachable areas. At the same time, the chip can also process 171 frames of camera images per second in real time, which is 5.7 times faster than the image processing speed of Dajiang Elf 3.

In addition, with this chip, the micro drone can also use inertia to measure where it is in space. Of course, this chip is not only for micro drones, and micro devices such as small robots can be used as carriers.

It is well known that the endurance of a micro device is a problem because of the limitation of the size of the device. If the battery life problem can be improved, it will solve a big problem for the micro device, coupled with the optimization of navigation, image processing and other capabilities, the application scenario will be able to further expand, such as rescue, exploration and so on.
