so we're here in the Intel drone zone or
0:03
whatever it is they're calling this thing it's a little side room here at
0:06
the exhibit next to the uh gaming center
0:09
out there and they've got a bunch of really cool stuff going on here you might be asking yourselves well hold on
0:14
a second I mean does Intel even like make processors for drones well maybe
0:21
not directly at least yet but they've certainly got a heavy investment in the
0:26
technology I mean both directly like with money like the 60 million they just
0:30
announced that they put into unique which is a drone manufacturer as well as
0:35
indirectly so here's an example this right here is a oh it's bolted down oh
0:39
no it isn't oh it's just stucke to a there yay this is a DJI Inspire one and
0:46
one of the things you might need you know oh I don't know a pretty powerful
0:49
processor for is the built-in camera here so that's on a three AIS gimble
0:54
it's also got three motors so you can actually control that with a controller
0:57
right there and you can see in our lovely and as uh hands there we've got
1:02
the application running on an Intel-based tablet this gives us a high
1:06
quality low latency video feed from
1:09
kilometers away potentially thanks to some of the very Advanced Wireless
1:13
technology that is being used for those video feeds I mean yes the consumer
1:17
grade stuff might use Wi-Fi but that is
1:21
that is not not the only thing out there and Intel's also got some cool stuff
1:25
coming with Edison built into drones to make them so Edison's a little tiny
1:30
little little tiny CPUs uh Edison built into drones that uh we don't know much
1:34
about right now but uh who knows what's coming in the future but that's not the
1:38
real reason I'm here no the reason I'm here is to uh get a chance to win a core
1:43
i7 processor what is this oh a 5960x
1:47
really they're giving these away just like that hey all right well at any rate
1:52
uh what you have to do is navigate one of these little micro quadcopter bad
1:58
boys this is a Proto well something whatever it doesn't matter so the point
2:02
is I'm going to try and navigate this through three sequentially more
2:07
difficult obstacles and try and do it as quickly as possible so here we go uh
2:12
where's that controller at yes all right
2:15
wish me luck here guys this uh didn't go that well last time and that's okay come
2:21
on we got this we got this oh yeah looking good looking
2:25
good yeah looking good okay all right let's turn it to the left NASCAR style
2:31
oh oh turn it to the right ah no wait
2:36
whoa okay and then what I can go through it at any
2:40
angle any angle all right well then uh
2:43
up and who oh oh yes is that a
2:47
successful run or do you have to land
2:50
you have to oh you have to land okay let's try again try again no no no no do
2:54
over do over I got this i got this okay this is not as smooth a run hold on I'm
2:59
still alive I'm still
3:02
okay come on third times the charm third times oh thank you okay I just got to go
3:06
for gold here there we go all right all
3:10
right where's my ring where's my
3:13
ring where's my ring at okay and then I just got to come back come back and land
3:18

3:24
me that's sort of a box come on link up
3:31
yes oh she's spinning on her own she's spinning on her own hold on we'll just
3:35
cop okay well obviously it wasn't me who uh fell short here so I think that
3:40
counts there all right so thanks for checking out our look at the drone zone
3:45
