Two Integrated Linux Computers Make Aircraft Flexible, Scaleable
UAV manufacturer 3D Robotics (3DR) has unveiled Solo, which the company says is an all-in-one personal drone "whose ease of use and powerful new features kick off a new aerial age." With computing power from two integrated Linux computers ... one on the craft and one in the controller ... Solo delivers several "world-first" technologies, such as unfettered in-flight access to GoPro controls, including wireless HD streaming straight to mobile devices, and effortless computer-assisted Smart Shot flight features that the company says allows even new pilots to capture professional aerial video from day one.
