holy shit

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

biggest hurdle right now for consistency is gate 2 -> gate 3, anyone have any ideas??

I am hoping this kinda slow down -> inertia past gate won't be as much of a problem on the next map because the gates are all at more appropriate height differences but..

WE HAVE A COMPLETED LAP!!!

12 days left in the autonomous drone racing competition time to move to the harder map now D:

@richgrov I’m jealous!! When I was studying MechE my school had an imagineering class that I took and it was super cool.

@shong0504 Is that a 4x4 in parity, if so, so real

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

So. Sick.

Seems like a KILLER interface for agent use, grats on the launch!!

If you’re a creative not using AI you’re fcked.

Introducing Melius: the world’s first creative canvas for agents.

Here’s how it works:

Holy shit this is hilarious

"the auto-mode classifier is convinced this script flies a physical drone and won't accept my assurance that it's the Windows simulator"

Happy 7’s Day (:

PERFECT TIMING

[Finlay Sanders @finlay_sanders]

The @puffer_ai drone env just got a big upgrade!

Multitask hover + racing trains in 15s.

And it sim2reals on a Crazyflie!

Everything is open source, and there is still so much to do so come help out!

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

@HeatherRasley Not explicitly, but it was reading logs with timestamps, must have been that, still funny!

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

Fable told me a change wasn’t a ‘late night continuation’ but a rewrite for tomorrow…. IM SORRY!?!

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

Claude Fable’s attempt at navigation after a few hours, this is just a simple ‘drone targets center of gate (gate detection with yolo and orientation/distance mapping with PnP)

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

real

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

Everyone loves a 3DS but damn the PSP is really the goat of handhelds, ITS ACTUALLY PORTABLE

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

@richgrov THIS GUY GETS IT!!!

[Nick Leland @spiffyml]

there really are levels to this shit
