New Taipei City – October 07, 2026 -- Upbeat Technology launched the Bluemag Pi, a sensor-integrated flight controller combining real-time flight control with onboard AI inference, targeting long-endurance fixed-wing aircraft, commercial multirotor drones and unmanned surface vessels.
Dual-core RISC-V chip separates flight-critical tasks from AI processing
The board runs on Upbeat's UP301 system-on-chip, pairing SiFive's E3 and E2 RISC-V processor cores. One core handles time-critical flight control while the second manages communication, navigation and AI tasks, according to the company.
