Drones! Human vs. A.I

JPL engineers recently finished developing three drones and the artificial intelligence needed for them to navigate an obstacle course by themselves. As a test of these algorithms, they raced the drones against a professional human pilot. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

A new era of machines has begun! Drone racing is an exciting sport demanding high concentration and skills. But humans have a competitor now THE ROBOTS!.

Researches at NASA are successful in making AI which have been tested recently at JPL. NASA  in collaboration with Google have done this project. JPL set up a timed trial between their A.I. and world-class drone pilot Ken Loo.

It came out that the drone flew smoothly over the obstacles without much accelerating and de-accelerating. But where as human path was more jerkier!

Ken loo also said he got tired after few laps but with time he better understood the track and consistently improved. But A.I was quite consistent.!


Its a huge achivement. Lets how much more suprises JPL hold for us!
