“Using the advanced insight and neural processing that makes the next-generation Snapdragon chip possible, we are taking consumers from an era of user-controlled tools to an era of autonomous robots that serve the needs of users,” said Yinian Mao, CEO of Airlango via Social Geek.

“With Mystic, users do not have to worry about where their drone is or what they are doing. On the contrary, they are able to walk knowing that the unmanned plane is smart enough to stay by their side, and take pictures and videos on their own.”
