"In a milestone for artificial intelligence (AI), the AI system “Swift”,
designed by UZH researchers, has beaten the world champions in drone racing – a
result that seemed unattainable just a few years ago. The AI-piloted drone was
trained in a simulated environment. Real-world applications include
environmental monitoring or disaster response.
Remember when IBM’s Deep Blue won against Gary Kasparov at chess in 1996, or
Google’s AlphaGo crushed the top champion Lee Sedol at Go, a much more complex
game, in 2016? These competitions where machines prevailed over human champions
are key milestones in the history of artificial intelligence. Now a group of
researchers from the University of Zurich and Intel has set a new milestone
with the first autonomous system capable of beating human champions at a
physical sport: drone racing.
The AI system, called Swift, won multiple races against three world-class
champions in first-person view (FPV) drone racing, where pilots fly quadcopters
at speeds exceeding 100 km/h, controlling them remotely while wearing a headset
linked to an onboard camera."
