NASA May Send Drone to Saturn to Search for Alien Life
Drones are everywhere – floating over farm fields, diving into disaster scenes, exploring a possibly life-harboring moon of Saturn (record scratch!). Wait. What? No, you're not suffering a post-holiday food hangover – NASA may very well send a drone to Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Last week, the American space agency shortlisted a drone concept to launch a robotic Saturn … [Read more...] about NASA May Send Drone to Saturn to Search for Alien Life
NASA Shows AI Can’t Out Race an Expert Drone Pilot – Yet
Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, recently held a drone race. While the twisting obstacle course was typical for a difficult race -the competitors were anything but typical. Three racing drones controlled by artificial intelligence (A.I.) were pitted against a racing drone flown by expert professional pilot Ken Loo. Loo won, on speed … [Read more...] about NASA Shows AI Can’t Out Race an Expert Drone Pilot – Yet
Watch: NASA’s AI Drone Takes on DRL Pilot
A drone piloted by NASA's artificial intelligence has taken on a DRL FPV pilot, with interesting results. If futurists are to be believed, most of our jobs are under threat from the rise of robotics, artificial intelligence and automation. The ironic thing is that some of the first to go could be drone pilots; a professional that has only existed for a handful of years. … [Read more...] about Watch: NASA’s AI Drone Takes on DRL Pilot
