aug 30, 2023 - Swift AI drone becomes first autonomous mobile robot to beat humans in a physical sport.
Description:
An autonomous drone system named Swift sets a new milestone by beating human world champions in first-person view (FPV) drone racing. Developed through deep reinforcement learning, Swift won 5 out of 9 races against A. Vanover, 4 out of 7 against T. Bitmatta, and 6 out of 9 against M. Schaepper. The drone's performance recorded the fastest race time, outpacing the best human time by half a second. Unlike traditional autonomous systems, Swift operates solely on onboard sensors and computations, making it a game-changer in mobile robotics. This achievement could have far-reaching implications, potentially revolutionizing not just sports but also other applications requiring real-time decision-making and agility.Added to timeline:
