Watch DARPA’s Robot Copilot Fly a Cessna
October 20th, 2016Via: Popular Mechanics:
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency—DARPA, that is—is currently working on a robotic copilot called the Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS). The project is designed to decrease the number of airmen needed to fly military missions as a method of reducing cost. Aurora Flight Sciences recently tested the robotic arm by flying with it in a Cessna, which you can see in the video below.
