Full coverage of the University of Zurich AI drone race vs world class drone racing pilots from the US, Switzerland and Australia.
Website: bmsfpv.com
Note: Neither the Vicon or Vision drones have any idea about the location of their human competitor on the track and as such they don't attempt to overtake carefully but rather simply fly the learned racing line and if lucky, no collision occurs.

Yeah, I wish I could take a look at the AI Architecture. You see, Artificial Intelligence works best where Humans are involved in the least. It takes a lot of computing power, which most schools do not have, but the Best AI just needs DATA, and a library of known regressive curves, and let the Artificial Intelligence create its own Algorithms, to set up Predictive Modeling which it then can refine by LEARNING. I think that an AI System that can't do as well as Humans must have Human Contamination, that the only LEARNING comes from Human Students getting in to tweak their own algorithms, meaning that it really isn't AI, is it? Real AI is just setting up the Architecture and then hitting RUN. It's got to be Data Rich at the beginning to save time later, during the Learning Phase, but the AI should be able to optimize itself. Really, the entire point of AI is to eliminate Human Beings. So if Students are there, then it isn't Artificial Intelligence, no, it's just a very complex and fallible human designed Algorithm full of the same Errors that Human Beings always drag along behind their Monkey Azzes.

@@Yusuf-ge5gq good morning Yusuf. Whoever created the term AI was NOT THINKING. It was probably some Computer Science Idiot and not a Philosopher. You see, ALL Intelligence is inherently ARTIFICIAL. Only Stupidity is Natural. But Intelligence can be either Biological or Machine. Do you understand what I am saying? I am saying that I refuse to be Stupid because everybody else doesn't seem to be fighting this NONSENSE. Also, "Machine Intelligence" SOUNDS better. Are you convinced yet?

@DanielBarrios83 Год назад

That was an amazing video... So much interesting information

@CurryKitten Год назад

Very interesting video. I assumed part of the data collection from the neuroscientists was about learning how you think about maneuvering your quads in races? Obviously, there's a long way to go in stand-alone vision drones - not just being able to map what's ahead in 3d but understanding the materials, risks of 1 route vs the other... which is a colossal amount of computer task to stick on top of a quad right now, but it's a very interesting prospect. As they continue on their racing theme, I think it would be a good exercise for them to start flying multiple vision drones at once and start thinking about making decisions about when to back off and when to go for it... as well as being able to correct their lines.

@BMSWEB Год назад

You're 100% correct, there is a long long way to go for this, glad to see someone recognises this 👍. Realistically it's only the first baby step. In fact the university didn't even really understand drone racing.

These drones are going to carry a grenades to kill targeted people. They need to work out that ability to race side-by-side, because they are going to be sent out 12x at a time until the target is eliminated.

@sganzerlag Год назад

I would bet that the so-called "vision-only" drone in reality uses vision and gyro and accelerometer data, paired with a database containing the exact dimensions and geometry of that particular track. By using gyro and accelerometer data, the drone can calculate in real time exactly where it is in respect to its starting location. If it also knows the track's dimensions and geometry, it can combine that information to navigate the course. Inertial navigation. I don't think the vision drone is flying on video alone. Still, I am thoroughly impressed at how fast the ai drone was. Thank you so much for sharing this, I had a blast watching it. Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.

@travisSimon365 Год назад

One thing that struck me watching you and Alex fly from 3rd person is how wide your lines were while doing looping elements (conceding that you might not have been flying at 100%). When you watch the AI drone (when it works), the loops are super tight and compact. As a computer programmer and pilot, this was all very interesting. One thing that is very clear is that it might not be this year or even next year, but I'm pretty sure that in the near future you and Alex are going to get absolutely smoked by their machines. Scary stuff!
