Vendor:

Crazyflie AI-deck 1.1 enables low power on-board artificial intelligence capabilities for the Crazyflie using a GAP8 chip with RISC-V multi-core architecture, 512 Mbit HyperFlash, and 64 Mbit HyperRAM. This lightweight and low-power combination opens up many research and development areas for the micro-sized Crazyflie 2.X UAV.

In addition, the AI-deck 1.1 has a Himax HM01B0 Bayer RGB camera with a NINA W102 Wi-Fi module to stream your images to a desktop as well as handle control. These features fit the prerequisites of a convolutional neural network, but the AI deck is not limited to the application of CNNs.

What is Crazyflie?

Crazyflie is a versatile open-source flying development platform that only weighs 27g and fits in the palm of your hand. Crazyflie is equipped with a low-latency/long-range radio as well as Bluetooth LE. This gives you the option of downloading an app and using your mobile device as a controller or, in combination with the Crazyradio PA, using your computer to display data and fly with a game controller.
