Intel Takes to the Air at Xponential 2017 (.PDF Download)

Intel may have shut down its Intel Developers Forum (IDF) show and pulled out of other venues it has sponsored, like the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, but has been focusing on other arenas ranging from artificial intelligence to drones.

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich was the keynote speaker at this year’s AUVSI Xponential show in Dallas. Of course, he presented the company’s vision for drones, and one of the platforms he talked about was its Falcon 8+, one of the thousands of unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) on display at the show. Krzanich also talked about the MAVinci Sirius Pro System, another Intel acquisition, and the Intel Shooting Star drone light shows used for entertainment exhibitions. Three hundred Shooting Stars were used to create the Pepsi Zero commercial for Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl halftime show.
