Qualcomm has introduced the QRB5165, a processor specifically designed for controlling drones and autonomous robots for industrial use. This chip integrates fifth-generation AI acceleration to make real-time decisions without relying on the cloud. Its architecture promises a new era in heavy automation.
Architecture and processing capabilities for hostile environments 🤖
The QRB5165 combines a Kryo 585 CPU with an Adreno 650 GPU and a Hexagon tensor AI engine. It supports up to seven simultaneous cameras, enabling 3D perception and obstacle avoidance in flight or ground movement. Its 2-gigapixel-per-second ISP processes high-speed images with no appreciable latency. Additionally, it includes 5G connectivity for remote telemetry.
When your drone thinks faster than your coffee ☕
This chip processes data at such speed that your drone could decide to dodge a pole before you even realize you're holding the controller upside down. And the worst part: it's probably right. If you ever feared a vacuum cleaner would outsmart you, wait until you see a robotic arm with QRB5165 arguing with you about the optimal sweeping route.
