Preamble
As Intel moves into drones and robotics, with the Intel’s Aero Compute Board and the Robotics Development Kit, will they sound the death knel for the smaller, open source flight controller, and servo controller, boards and software..?
I also make mention of the software because, after all, where Intel go, Microsoft surely follow, and so the Hobby community based software will be dealt a blow, fatal or not… Just look at the Raspberry Pi and WIndows 10 IoT. So, will we be seeing Micro$oft drones becoming all ubiquitous, and filling the skies as they take on Amazon et al., as drones and robotics, are obviously new and upcoming technologies that they, as yet, have not made major in-roads into.
Getting back to Intel, they have already been dabbling in the area, in conjunction with a German company, see ASCTEC FALCON 8.
