Overview

Movidius was a fabless semiconductor company co-founded in 2005 in Dublin, Ireland, that designed low-power vision processing unit (VPU) chips for computer vision and deep learning at the edge. Its Myriad 2 and Myriad X VPUs powered obstacle avoidance in DJI drones including the Phantom 4, Mavic Pro, and Spark, as well as Google's Project Tango and Intel's RealSense platform. The company raised approximately $90 million in venture funding before being acquired by Intel for approximately $400 million in September 2016, and its technology continues as the Intel Movidius VPU product line.
