Drone maker Zerotech announced the Dobby AI pocket-sized drone earlier this year. Now, there’s a Xilinx video of DeePhi Tech’s Fuzhang Shi explaining a bit more about the machine-learning innards of the Dobby AI drone, which uses deep-learning algorithms for tasks including pedestrian detection, tracking, and gesture recognition. DeePhi’s algorithms are running on a Xilinx Zynq Z-7020 SoC integrated into the Dobby AI drone.

 

Power consumption, stability, and cost are all critical factors in drone design and DeePhi developed a low-power, low-cost, high-stability system using the Zynq SoC, which executes 230GOPS while consuming a mere 3W. This is far more power-efficient than running similar application on CPUs or GPUs, explains Fuzhang Shi.
