Tiny Intel Curie may power wearables, but first let's make a robot

The world first met Intel’s tiny Curie platform when it was a button on a sports jacket, but the reality of the tiny connected computer brain will, at least initially, be far more pedestrian and perhaps more tangible for millions of students around the world.

On Friday at Maker Faire Rome, Intel and partner Arduino will unveil Arduino 101, the first credit-card-sized development platform (a microcontroller board) to feature Intel’s low-powered 32-bit, 32 MHz Core-based Curie. Intel has partnered with Arduino before, most notably on open-source boards for Intel’s Edison and Galileo platforms, but this is their first co-branded product. Read more...
