Hey, have you seen the new ultra‑low‑power AI accelerator that runs on half a watt? I was thinking about how we could drop it into a swarm drone system for real‑time object tracking and still keep the power budget tight. What do you think?
Wow, half a watt on an AI accelerator is insane, but you have to remember that the whole swarm stack will still consume a lot—control, RF, sensors, even the tiny heat sinks. The accelerator itself is great for inference, but you’ll need a lightweight kernel that can stream the model weights into RAM without a big buffer. If you keep the power budget tight, I’d suggest packing the accelerator into a dedicated edge node that does the heavy lifting and let the individual drones handle just the communication. The specs are solid, but the real challenge is getting the whole system to stay below your total power envelope without throwing out the user‑friendly interface.
