    Descriptionoor het eerst heeft een kunstmatig intelligente drone de wereldkampioen droneracen verslagen. Kampioensdrone Swift kijkt iets verder vooruit in het parcours, maar racet vooral heel consistent.
    De adrenaline giert door de lijven, ook al zitten de jongens doodstil, met een VR-bril op. Alleen hun vingers bewegen razendsnel op de controllers, terwijl ze de kleine quadcopter-drones door een parcours van grote vierkante poorten jagen, met snelheden tot 100 kilometer per uur. Wat de drones ‘zien’ met hun boordcamera’s, zien de bestuurders door hun bril.

    DescriptionResearchers at MAVLab, Technical University Delft (TU Delft), have made significant progress in the development of a technology that allows small drones to hover efficiently over a specific spot for an extended period, using minimal energy consumption. The findings, published in an academic paper in August 2023, detail how scientists managed to create an autonomous micro air vehicle (MAV) that can find and maintain its optimal hovering position in the face of changing wind conditions.
