Low altitude + cultural tourism, manned drones innovate new scenes

With the hot launch of "Black Myth: Wukong", Shanxi has attracted national attention with its profound cultural heritage. On the morning of July 28, 2024, Taiyuan City held a low-altitude tourism test flight event at the Jinyang Low-altitude Flight Camp in Paddy Field Park and delivered Ehang's manned electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. This event not only demonstrated advanced flight technology, but also opened a new chapter for the future low-altitude tourism market.

1. AI brain of drones: embedded computers

In this event, the most eye-catching is a manned electric drone that can fly autonomously without human piloting. This is inseparable from the support of AI computers. We brought the "brain" of this drone, a palm-sized embedded computer. It weighs only 297 grams, which is equivalent to the weight of 1.2 bottles of 500 ml mineral water. Its overall structure is simple, consisting of a PCBA board and an aluminum plate shell.

This embedded computer is suitable for three types of drones: multi-rotor, single-rotor, and fixed-wing. Its computing power is as high as 100TOPs, which is equivalent to the computing power of 3.5 RTX4090 graphics cards. It can be widely used in image acquisition, cruising, logistics, search and rescue, and other fields.

2. Motherboard interface designed specifically for drones

DTB-3120-A78AE The motherboard interface of this computer is tailored for drones and has the following features:

- 2 GMSAL2 interfaces: can be connected to 3D/HDR cameras.

- 2 2.5GbE interfaces: can be connected to thermal imaging and hyperspectral cameras.

- 2 USB3.2 interfaces: can be connected to high-resolution cameras.

- Power plug: supports 4S-14S battery packs.

The design of these interfaces makes drones more flexible and adaptable in terms of function expansion and performance improvement.

3. Unlimited possibilities brought by high computing power

With the advancement of technology, the application scenarios of drones are becoming more and more extensive. From express delivery to emergency rescue, to geological exploration and environmental monitoring, the support of high computing power has enabled drones to shine in various fields. Especially in image processing and data analysis in complex environments, high-computing embedded computers have shown irreplaceable advantages.

1. Conclusion

If you need high-computing support in drone or robot projects, this embedded computer is undoubtedly the best choice. It can not only solve technical pain points, but also bring innovative possibilities to the project. In the future, with the continuous development of technology, the drone industry will surely usher in a more brilliant tomorrow.
