DJI has unveiled a high-performance embedded computer running Ubuntu 14.04 for use in its Matrice 100 drone. The Manifold supports CUDA, OpenCV and ROS, and it is compatible with third-party sensors. It lets developers connect a variety of devices — including infrared cameras, atmospheric research devices, and geographical surveying equipment — to the Matrice 100. The Manifold collects and analyzes data live. Sensor data typically has to be streamed to ground-based computers, noted Kevin Krewell, a principal analyst at Tirias Research.
