Thumb PC uses Google software to give computer vision to robots and drones

A new USB stick computer uses Google's machine-learning software to give drones and robots the equivalent of a human eye, and add new smarts to cameras. It is instead designed to analyze pixels and provide the right context for images. Fathom provides the much-needed horsepower for devices like drones, robots and cameras to run computer vision applications like image recognition. These devices alone typically don't have the ability to run computer vision applications. Fathom uses an embedded version of Google's TensorFlow machine learning software for vision processing.
