Drone Racing Prepares Neural-Network AI for Space

Research Being Conducted by ESA at Delft University

Drones are being raced against the clock at Delft University of Technology’s ‘Cyber Zoo’ to test the performance of neural-network-based AI control systems planned for next-generation space missions.

“In space every onboard resource must be utilized as efficiently as possible – including propellant, available energy, computing resources, and often time."
