MonoRace: Winning Champion-Level Drone Racing with Robust Monocular AI

Autonomous drone racing represents a major frontier in robotics research. It requires an artificial intelligence (AI) that can run onboard lightweight flying robots under tight resource and time constraints while pushing the physical system to its limits. The state of the art in this area consists of a system with a st...

Spiking Neural Networks for High-Speed Continuous Quadcopter Control Using Proximal Policy Optimization

We present the first fully spiking actor-critic neural network policy, trained via Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), for continuous control of a high-speed quadcopter in a gate-based navigation task. The spiking neural network (SNN) controller uses Leaky Integrate-and-Fire neurons with surrogate gradient training and...
