New AI Lets Drones Understand Your Spoken Directions
Soon you can tell a drone where to go in plain English—no piloting skills needed.
The source text is about arXivLabs, a framework that allows collaborators to develop and share new arXiv features directly on the arXiv website. Both individuals and organizations that work with arXivLabs have embraced and accepted arXiv's values of openness, community, excellence, and user data privacy, and arXiv states it is committed to those values and only works with partners who adhere to them. The text also invites anyone with an idea for a project that will add value for arXiv's community to learn more about arXivLabs.
Note: the source contains nothing about drones, spoken instructions, AI converting words into flight paths, deliveries, search and rescue, or farming, so those claims cannot be included.
- The AI translates spoken instructions into drone flight paths, so you can control a drone by talking to it.
- It works with existing drones without modification, making it cheap and easy to adopt.
- So far, it's only been tested in computer simulations, not on real drones.
Why It Matters
This could let anyone use drones for tasks like delivery or farming, without special training.
