In an effort to find long-term solutions for aircraft autopilot systems, two researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a revolutionary technique employing artificial intelligence (AI). This study has the potential to make aviation autopilots more dependable and safe, and it will be presented at the Robotics: Science and Systems conference.For the study, the researchers attempted to overcome what’s known as the stabilize-avoid problem, meaning that AI systems are unable to navigate through complex terrain, with the harrowing flight maneuvers to navigate narrow canyons displayed in the film, “Top Gun: Maverick”, as one example. Although the human pilots in the movie were shown to be able to perform these maneuvers with success.
