pinto + 293 PZ August 8, 2018 The borders are moving. Robot is learning to fly a plane and landed it from 3,000 miles during a simulated test using a real cockpit. This was the first time that robot's flying with "Big birds". It wouldn't be surprising to see the robot as a second pilot very soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damirUSBiH + 327 DD August 8, 2018 This is so scary, picture reminds of Airplane (the movie satire). Why on the Earth would one put an industrial robot arm in a modern airplane? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rainman + 263 August 8, 2018 Probably a better pilot than the guy flying the last plane I was on... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
