According to foreign media reports, although Intel has promoted its low-energy chips to American geeks and DIY enthusiast communities through various means, it has not been successful. Geek and DIY enthusiasts still use ARM-based development tools such as Raspberry Pi 3 and BeagleBone.
Chinese small hardware vendors have benefited from Intel's plans to fund PC and mobile device development. Intel said in 2014 that it plans to sell 40 million tablet chips worldwide through subsidies and help Chinese hardware manufacturers develop innovative devices and reduce tablet costs. Intel was planning to catch up with ARM, which dominates the tablet market.
Intel sold 46 million tablet chips that year, but the mobile business unit lost billions of dollars. The result was considered a major mistake by CEO Brian Krzanich, who later did not publicly announce aggressive sales targets.
However, according to the recently announced news, Intel believes that it has great potential to cooperate with Chinese companies in the field of Internet of Things. Chinese hardware companies are always able to quickly identify the industry trends, and Intel hopes that its loyal Chinese partners will consider developing robots, drones, sensor equipment, and home and industrial automation equipment.
Intel announced the "Makers Go Big" program at the "Intel Developer Forum" (hereinafter referred to as "IDF") held in Shenzhen, "the goal is to nurture a new generation of Chinese inventors and entrepreneurs." Intel will continue to invest in the "Intel Mass Makerspace Accelerator Program" announced last year at IDF, which aims to provide funding and support to Chinese hardware manufacturers.
Intel will also explore opportunities to partner with Chinese partners to bring its reality TV show "Greatest Makers" to China. This will be the first time that Greatest Makers has stepped out of the United States.
Other products announced at IDF include "robot development tools" for developing robots and the Aero platform for developing drones. At the heart of the two development tools is a real-world 3D camera that recognizes objects and determines their size, shape and contour. Real-world 3D cameras will add eye to robots and drones to help them navigate and avoid obstacles.
The "Robot Development Tools" can be ordered from the Intel website for $249 (approximately RMB 1,616) and will be available later in the second quarter. It includes Aaeon's credit card-sized motherboard with integrated Intel Atom x5 Z8350 processor, core graphics, 4GB DDR3 memory, 32GB of storage, 1 HDMI port, 1 Ethernet port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 A USB 3.0 interface, a 40-pin universal I/O interface, a camera interface and an embedded DisplayPort interface for connecting to the display.
The Aero platform includes a flight controller, accelerometer, pressure sensor and programmable universal I/O interface. It also has modules that support communication, storage, and visual capabilities. In addition, it is equipped with Atom's 4-core processor, which will be released in the second half of this year. Intel will announce further details and prices later this year.
Intel also announced important software development tools and SDKs (software development kits). A software toolkit for developing hardware for Curie wearables will enable developers to use USB and Bluetooth LE features.
In addition, Intel has unveiled a experimental real-world cross-platform API (application programming interface) that will provide tools and "high-level visual capabilities" for taking pictures and videos, adding image recognition capabilities to robots and drones. It supports Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
