New system employs a deep neural network to overcome the challenge of ground-effect turbulence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bfxPxg9rqk&feature=youtu.be https://youtu.be/FLLsG0S78ik Landing multi-rotor drones smoothly is difficult. Complex turbulence is created by the airflow from each rotor bouncing off the ground as the ground grows ever closer during a descent. This turbulence is not well understood nor is it easy […]
