Navigation via AI without GPS

[Dave Pitman]

A very interesting development. A demonstration of a UAV navigating using internal maps and AI when GPS fails.
I think this could be a huge development.

In ‘first,’ delivery drone gets to destination in Israel without GPS signal

Using computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies, startup Sightec gets drone to fly five routes in southern Israel without GPS navigation tools in test run

Very cool. Pretty much the same thing skydio did about 3 years ago and perfected with the r2, but on a grand scale. Interesting how they mention hacking of GPS and they don't think that software can be hacked?

Cruise missiles were around before GPS. That’s pretty much how they navigated in the 80s.
They used High end Mechanical gyros and video images to navigate. They would spot landmarks and re-calibrate the Gyro.
