Wait we have AI-powered drones?
We’ve been working towards it for a while now.
The best weapon against drones is jamming. Interrupting the connection between drone and operator, leaving it blind and deaf.
However an AI controlled drone could overcome this and finish its mission by itself
Logistics drones /w AI seems like a real solid use. Identifying and avoiding static obstacles while navigating to a set point will be their primary job. Send them to resupply the front line where a truck/driver might get targeted by a drone.
they couldn’t handle a large capacity though. a truck can handle thousands of times the volume
they wouldn’t be much use for ammo or anything heavy like that: they’d pretty much be able to deliver meals and nothing else… perhaps repair parts for small things
i do know that they’ve setup logistics networks in africa with fixed-wing drones to deliver things like blood and medicine to hospitals, so that could be a good use for fixed wing drones - they need range and speed
Gereon RCS is a ground based drone, which can carry 500kg. The AI is needed, as remote controlling it is harder, due to obstacles on the ground making the radio link more difficult.
AI powered ? So no need for batteries or fuel ? Yes, this is how it is called, but in my opinion it should be “a.i. guided” or “a.i. controlled” …
P.S. : Many thanks to Germans for this amongst other help.
It’s a new technology. See, there’s a tiny little AI robot in there with a little pedal machine that turns the wheels.
Maybe it’s powered by Strong AI? That would make it extremely powerful… or strong… or something?
