NEW Drone AI Could Give UAVs the Ability to Ride Air Currents Like Birds
AI could help drones ride air currents like birds SOURCE : https://theconversation.com/ai-could-help-drones-ride-air-currents-like-birds-103564 Birds have long inspired humans to create their own ways to fly. We know that soaring bird species that migrate long distances use thermal updrafts to stay in the air without using up energy flapping their wings. And glider pilots similarly use thermals currents and other areas of rising air in order to remain airborne for longer. Yet, while we’ve mastered gliding through these updrafts using various instruments, the exact mechanisms that allow birds to soar are still…
