Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) have developed an AI simulation platform that allows users to design and iterate hybrid drones in a matter of hours. Hybrid drones offer an interesting and potentially highly capable blend of aviation approaches. A hybrid drone can switch between flying like a fixed-wing aircraft and hovering like … [Read more...] about Anyone Can Design a Hybrid Drone With MIT CSAIL’s AI Platform

MIT Researcher Develops Drone that Avoids Obstacles
"Everyone is building drones these days, but nobody knows how to get them to stop running into things,” MIT researcher Andrew Barry said in a press statement. The statement announced the release of an open source technology that will allow drones flying at 30mph to avoid obstacles without operator influence. Barry, an MIT PhD candidate, developed the system as part of his … [Read more...] about MIT Researcher Develops Drone that Avoids Obstacles
