All computations are performed onboard, without cloud services.\n\nAniket Bera, head of the IDEAS Lab, said that genuine embodied AI must run on a chip rather than in the cloud.\n\nFor now, this is only a research demonstration, not a finished product. The drone’s speed is relatively low, and some of its navigation techniques are based on open-source work by other laboratories. \n\nThe technology is seen as promising for search-and-rescue operations and missions in areas where GPS is unavailable or jammed."}
