AI-deck is Available in Early Access
Super-edge-computing is now possible on a microdrone Crazyflie thanks to the GAP8 IoT application processor from GREENWAVES Technologies. GAP8 delivers over 10 GOPS of compute power at exceptionally low power consumption enabling complex tasks such as pathfinding and target following on a CrazyFlie, consuming less than 0,1% of the total energy.
The AI-deck can host artificial intelligence-based workloads like Convolutional Neural Networks onboard. This will open up many research areas focusing on fully onboard autonomous navigation of tiny MAVs, like ETH Zurich’s PULP-Dronet. Moreover, there is also ESP32 WiFi connectivity with the possibility to stream the images to your personal computer.
CrazyFlie AI deck is in early access, which means the hardware design is now finalized and full building support, running, and debugging applications (including GreenWaves’ GAPflow tools for porting neural networks to GAP from TensorFlow) are available however limited examples of specific AI Deck applications have been developed so far.
