Update: 2022-05-24
Description
Sebastian Scherer from CMU's Airlab gives us a behind-the-scenes demo at ICRA of their Autonomous Flight Control AI. Their approach aims to cooperate with human pilots and act the way they would.

The team took this approach to create a more natural, less intrusive process for co-habiting human and AI pilots at a single airport. They describe it as a Turing Test, where ideally the human pilot will be unable to distinguish an AI from a person operating the plane.
Their communication system works parallel with a 6-camera hardware package based on the Nvidia AGX Dev Kit. This kit measures the angular speed of objects flying across the videos.
In this world, high angular velocity means low risk -- since the object is flying at a fast speed perpendicular to the camera plane.
Low angular velocity indicates high risk since the object could be flying directly at the plane, headed for a collision.
