I'd bet a lot of money they are following pre-optimized trajectories or policies, using onboard sensing to localize. I didn't get a good sense from the article whether the CAD model was only used at startup / online, or if they used the CAD and found routes or policies first (pre-trained) and followed / executed during.
A great achievement, no doubt, but the days of hunter-killer drones flying willy nilly through arbitrary environments are not yet arrived.
- spoonjim 4y agoThe days of hunter-killer drones flying willy nilly through arbitrary environments is already here! What do you think Predator drones are doing in the Middle East?
