AI-powered drone beats human champion pilots
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has once again proven its superiority over humans, this time in the realm of drone racing. Researchers at the University of Zurich developed an AI algorithm, named Swift, that defeated three world champion drone racers. The AI managed to navigate a 3D race course at high speeds, winning 15 out of 25 races. Swift clocked the fastest lap on a course where drones reached speeds of 50mph and endured accelerations up to 5g.
