Robot HelicopterCare to ride a computer-driven helicopter that can perform aerobatic stunts? Well, that won’t be available yet but some geeks managed to developer computer software that takes note of how an RC helicopter is flown and learns from that. After “learning”, the computer then flies the helicopter and does what it has learned on its own. Take note that it’s not auto-pilot. it’s AI pilot.

The computer doesn’t just copy what the human controlling the RC helicopter did. It actually learns how to fly and do stunts. If you don’t believe me then watch this video and see for yourself.

First they taught rat-brains to fly an airplane then made smarter robots with the same technology. I thought that rat brains is the way to go but computer geeks and AI technology seem to be catching up.

I think the pieces of the AI puzzle are starting to make sense and we might see better artificial intelligence sooner than we expected.
