Science mimics nature: Microsoft researchers test AI-controlled soaring machine
Published on Aug 16, 2017
Microsoft researchers have created a system that uses artificial intelligence to keep a type of glider called a sailplane in the air without using a motor, by autonomously finding and catching rides on naturally occurring thermals, similar to how many birds stay aloft.
