MIT researchers have developed a low-power chip that enables tiny drones and robots to build detailed 3D maps of their surroundings in real time while consuming only about 6 milliwatts of power. The system-on-a-chip, called Gleanmer, could help battery-powered autonomous machines navigate cluttered environments such as industrial ventilation systems, warehouses, tunnels, and other confined spaces where obstacle avoidance is critical.
Well…there goes the neighborhood. Gonna have these little bugs all over the place. Mappin‘ and recording. Probably, no definitely transmitting that to someone else for… reasons… Awesome.
Well autonomous AI enabled suicide attack drones just got a massive upgrade.
So that’s terrifying.
As cool and amazing as it sounds, it’s also „nuclear“ level tech if used for army stuff…
Like we needed drones that can now fly through narrow gaps autonomously…
6 mW for real-time 3D mapping on a drone-sized chip is honestly the more interesting ‘Moore’s Law’ story here. We’re not just shrinking compute anymore, we’re starting to move perception itself onto edge devices that small robots couldn’t even dream of running before.
That’ll work wonders for the military programs they collaborate on.
They always say it’s for construction safety, equipment inspection, rescue… But we all know who the highest bidders on autonomous navigation and object identification technology are. It’s like inventing a gun and saying it’s going to be used to deliver small messages across distances.
