Teal Drones Selects Neurala To Exclusively Provide Autonomous Follow Me Software To Follow A Specific Person or Object Using Advanced Image Recognition

Boston, MA (PRUnderground) July 20th, 2016

Teal Drone (www.tealdrones.com), maker of the world’s most powerful consumer drone, announced today that it will incorporate Neurala Follow autonomous flight software at launch.  Neurala Follow enables the drone to follow a specific person or object using advanced image recognition.  Videos can be recorded using the drone’s 4K camera.

The new Teal Drone ushers in a new era in which consumer drones have the computing power to run software that makes on-board and in-flight decisions.  The Teal drone includes the powerful NVIDIA Jetson TX1 GPU (https://www.nvidia.com/object/jetson-tx1-module.html) , which is capable of machine learning and image recognition with Neurala software.  Neurala will be the first to take advantage of these capabilities on the NVIDIA TX1 platform.

Some drones (and announced products) that claimed limited autonomy. However, they required help from a connected device, such as an iPad (like our own Selfie Dronie), or worked by following a cell phone or a signal from some specialized device.  The problem is that the communications delays and reliability issues made true autonomy impossible.  The Teal drone is the first consumer drone to enable true autonomy.

Neurala technology relies on simple cameras (without power-hungry active sensors and LIDAR) and will run on NVIDIA software for intelligence right when and where it is required – at the computing Edge.

Neurala plans to add advanced capabilities included obstacle avoidance and object recognition for smart inspections.

More details on the Teal drone are available from the Teal website  It is available for pre-order today at $1299 and will ship before the end of the year.
