INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
is the second attempt at the concept
The team initially designed the chip last year and, although it was small enough to power miniature drones, it used two watts of power
Instead of tweaking the existing design, however, the team built the chip from the ground up.The Navion computer chip | Image courtesy:
MITSmall is bigAccording to MIT News, the chip can process camera images at up to 171 frames per second and calculate inertial measurements
Navion project.Another way the team was able to reduce power consumption was to reduce mathematical calculations the chip needed to perform,
like removing all computations involving zero as the answer is always zero.Size does matterThe new chip, say the researchers, can be used in
Integrating the chip into drones will follow after.[Via MIT News]3o4s99CgUYfF6tdWxi93J8.jpg#
