How do you teach robots to make good decisions in the real world? 🤖 We have developed a course series that bridges optimal control, MPC, and RL—down to hands-on robot implementations. Course materials are coming soon. Subscribe here for updates: https://t.co/t7NVjSUdUz

We are excited to share our recent collaboration with @Bitcraze_se, showcasing how Bitcraze’s new Crazyflie Colour LED Deck adds a new dimension of expression to our SwarmGPT system for interactive drone choreography design. Hope you enjoy the video and happy holidays!

“Let’s start with a bang — big energy, right away.”

With SwarmGPT, anyone can describe the feeling of a performance in plain words.
