THE AI ANGLE
Controlling high-speed drone flight with minimal onboard sensors

Researchers built an autonomous drone system called MonoRace that beat human champion pilots on a race track. The aircraft navigates at over 60 mph using a single camera, an inertial sensor, and a low-power onboard chip. The work shows engineers that fast, reactive flight control is possible without external tracking or preloaded maps.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Engineers can examine whether training control networks in stripped-down physics simulations is better than using full visual simulations.
