Helicopters teach themselves to do aerial maneuvers
I just read this article: Helicopters teach themselves to do aerial maneuvers, about the work by my friend Andrew Ng and his grad students at Stanford. This is really impressive.
Stanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to teach themselves to fly difficult stunts by watching other helicopters perform the same maneuvers. The technique is known as “apprenticeship learning.” The result is an autonomous helicopter than can fly dazzling stunts on its own.
