Neuroflight Is the World’s First Neural-Network-Enabled Drone Controller
BU researchers Wil Koch and Azer Bestavros—both from the Hariri Institute for Computing and the College of Arts and Sciences' department of computer science—are using competitive drone racing as a testing ground to hone AI-controlled [...]flight. Here is footage from a camera aboard Neuroflight's maiden voyage in the skies, proving that it's possible to operate a drone that's outfitted with a neural-network-trained controller. Neuroflight uses machine learning to adapt the drone's maneuvers in dynamic, changing conditions.

Battling Drug Subs with Boogie Boards
Since the early 1990s, at least 60 “drug subs†have been captured. They’re sophisticated contraptions, with multiple crew members and GPS navigation—and their sole purpose is to sneak massive amounts of cocaine, heroin, and [...]other illegal drugs into the country. They’re exceptionally good at their job. To combat this menace, Boston University engineering professor Greg McDaniel is building a swarm of autonomous microboats. These machines would travel around an area of open ocean independently, listening for suspicious sounds. If an individual drone hears a noise, it can alert its robotic colleagues and invite them to collectively hone in on a target. This could help detect narco-subs and other small underwater threats more reliably—making the concept particularly attractive to the US Navy.
