I'm aware of several past solar-powered airplanes. Is this the first solar powered rotary-wing aircraft? (Looking for 'solar drone' mostly turns up drones used to clean solar panels)

I think this is a non-answer in some sense. Yes, transformers have been clearly very successful across a very wide range of tasks. But what about the approach taken in capsules is comparatively deficient? Some kinds of explanations which

I haven't heard of anyone talk about Hinton's capsule network concepts for some time. In 2017-18 it seemed exciting both because of Hinton but also because the pose/transformation sounded pretty reasonable. I don't know
