b"Robohub Podcast \\xb7 Autonomous Aircraft\\n\\nAbate talks to Maxime Gariel, CTO of Xwing about the autonomous flight technology they are developing. \\n\\n\\n\\nAt Xwing, they are converting traditional aircraft into remotely operated aircraft. They do this by retrofitting planes with multiple sensors including cameras, radar, and lidar, and by developing sensor fusion algorithms to allow their planes to understand the world around them, using highly accurate perception algorithms.\\n\\nXwing\\u2019s autonomous flight technology allows a plane to taxi in the airport, takeoff, fly to a destination, avoid airborne and ground threats, and land, all without any human input. This technology not only enables autonomous flight but may also enhance the safety of manned aircraft by improving a plane's ability to understand its surroundings."
