Summary:
 A team of researchers has developed a drone that flies autonomously using neuromorphic image processing and control based on the workings of animal brains.
 Animal brains use less data and energy compared to current deep neural networks running on GPUs (graphic chips).
 Neuromorphic processors are therefore very suitable for small drones because they don't need heavy and large hardware and batteries.
 The results are extraordinary: during flight the drone's deep neural network processes data up to 64 times faster and consumes three times less
 energy than when running on a GPU.
 Further developments of this technology may enable the leap for drones to become as small, agile, and smart as flying insects or birds.

I am really surprized.. 
Anybody here used that Intel processor yet for anything?
