👀 In the U.S., researchers created an AI drone that autonomously pursues a person in a forest without GPS or operator communication
Researchers at Purdue University taught an unmanned aerial vehicle to follow a running person, weave between trees, and keep the target in sight even when obstacles block it.
The drone does not need GPS, a pre-made map, or cloud computing. It builds its own map of the area, predicts the person’s movement, and makes decisions in milliseconds to avoid crashing into trees.
Moreover, all of the AI runs directly on the onboard computer.
“True embodied artificial intelligence should run on the chip, not in the cloud,” explained researcher Aniket Bhattacharya.
The development is still undergoing scientific validation, but the technology’s prospects are clear. Drones increasingly need fewer operators, satellite navigation, and continuous connections.
