Scientists at the University of Zurich have developed an autonomous AI called Swift that has crashed human pilots in drone races for the first time. Previously, I have already offered my superiority in chess and Go, but now about the first time I have surpassed people in fact no support. The brevity and maneuverability that drones capture could be lifted to impress with the views of people. They also impressed the two recognized world champions and the champion of Switzerland in drone racing, who could not resist the power of artificial intelligence.
Before the competition, Swift, as it should hurt the posession athlete, to thoroughly prepare. Starting with the development of urban routes, launching 100 drones in the virtual space at the same time. They provided initial data on the discovery of tracks, laid routes and optimized them. In terms of time, it took no more than an hour and did not amount to an equivalent set of monthly training sessions with a drone. The AI then optimized the control droop based on air turbulence, data on ideal signal degradation, and some other uncertainties.
The results of training became visible during the competition. The fastest AI lap was a full half second faster than the human-controlled lap. But people write off early. As a result of unrest in the Angara, Swift-Fast turned out to be the leader. Human pilots quickly adapted and got excellent results.
