Autonomous Drone Navigation with Deep Learning. Flight over 250 meter Forest Trail

This video demonstrates our autonomous visual navigation system for drones and mobile robotics. The system uses Deep Neural Network for visual perception and path finding. This video features 250 meter autonomous flight over a forest trail (visual navigation only, no GPS, no maps) and shows drone’s first person “vision“. This video accompanies our IROS 2017 paper: “Toward Low-Flying Autonomous MAV Trail Navigation using Deep Neural Networks for Environmental Awareness“. Arxiv link: arXiv: [
