Chinese Algorithm Beats Veteran Human Controller in FPV Drone Race

Posted by Dronerator
Chinese researchers have allegedly developed a new algorithm that lets first-person-view (FPV) drones perform autonomous aerobatic manoeuvres better than those by veteran human operators during flight missions. Inspired by sparrowhawks, falcons, and bats, the new artificial intelligence (AI) upgrade can facilitate high-speed, high-risk movements that usually only the most skilled human pilots can execute. Traditionally, […]
