— none of whom could best its top time.
Swift is the culmination of years of AI and machine learning research by the University of Zurich. In 2021, the team set an earlier iteration of the flight control algorithm that used a series of external cameras to validate its position in space in real-time,, all of whom were easily overmatched in every lap of every race during the test.
This week's result is another milestone, not just because the AI bested people whose job is to fly drones fast, but because it did so without the cumbersome external camera arrays=of its predecessor. The Swift system"reacts in real time to the data collected by an onboard camera, like the one used by human racers," an.
“Physical sports are more challenging for AI because they are less predictable than board or video games. We don’t have a perfect knowledge of the drone and environment models, so the AI needs to learn them by interacting with the physical world,” Davide Scaramuzza, head of the Robotics and Perception Group at the University of Zurich, said in a statement.Great deals on consumer electronics delivered straight to your inbox, curated by Engadget’s editorial team.
