UC Irvine researchers bring down AI powered drones with painted umbrellas
- jcalvinowens 7mo agoThe real paper title is too long to fit: "FlyTrap: Physical Distance-Pulling Attack Towards Camera-based Autonomous Target Tracking Systems" Twenty second demonstration video: https://youtu.be/tXDb5lqqFgw?si=NcAxtJIPVaLgYmun https://youtu.be/tXDb5lqqFgw?si=NcAxtJIPVaLgYmun

- ninju 7mo agoI'm not sure the "painting" of the umbrella added much benefit. Most of the tracking ability would be lost with any opaque head covering
- RobotCaleb 7mo agoThen I think you're missing the point. Any opaque head covering would not be enough to bring the drone in to capturing or sensor attacking distance. The point is to get the drone to close distance not to stop tracking.

- cat-turner 7mo agoPretty cool. I think a combo of that and emergency blankets (which hide your heat signature) will make you invisible to drones.
