Champion-level Drone Racing using Deep Reinforcement Learning was published in Nature and featured on the journal’s cover. The paper presents an autonomous system that outraced human world champions in first-person view (FPV) drone racing, a televised sport. This is the first time that an autonomous mobile robot achieved world-champion-level performance in a real-world competitive physical sport. Here is a video created by Nature to highlight the work and here is an accompanying article that provides a good overview.
