Fast Learning Computer Flies Heli

Adam Coates of Stanford presented at the IEEE RAS meeting.  He has his colleagues, including Pieter Abbeel and Andrew Y. Ng, used machine learning to enable a 2-processor computer to quickly learn complicated flight patterns of large model helicopters controlled by a skilled pilot.  The model helicopter pilot took 20 years of learning to perfect some of the complicated and aggressive flights [...]
