2019 AIRR Season Overview

3,530 Views · Posted 4 years ago
The Artificial Intelligence Robotic Racing (AIRR) Circuit is a racing series, where DRL enabled teams of technologists, engineers and drone enthusiasts to develop artificial intelligence to race high-speed drones through unique tracks without any human intervention.

Lockheed Martin launched the AlphaPilot, an open innovation challenge to develop artificial intelligence for high-speed racing drones. During a robust submission process, 424 developer team applicants, representing 2300 innovators from over 80 countries applied. From there, Lockheed Martin and DRL created a series of programming tests to narrow the field down to just 9 teams.

And in just a few short months, these teams have been developing AI to deploy on the drones in AIRR. In early December, Team MAVLAB was crowned the 2019 AIRR Champions, finishing the course in :11s and winning the grand prize of $1 Million Dollars from Lockheed Martin.
