Robot lands a 737 by hand, on a dare from DARPA
Building a bot for the co-pilot's seat may be cheaper than adding automation software (www.theregister.co.uk) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
And if a robot had piloted Flight 232 in '89, probably all passengers would have died before they even reached Sioux Gateway Airport in Sioux City, Iowa.
I'm no fan of robots, but to keep the ifs in perspective, if a robot had been flying in airline accidents that were pilot error, the accident may not have happened.
Didn't I already see that in the movie "Airplane?"
Not really... this Robot was not fitted with a Manual Inflation Port :) - Don't forget about when the plane was losing altitude...
OTTO :)
That was an inflatable blow up doll lol. Besides now all I can think of is.... DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX A ROBOT OR LAND A PLANE???
I think the builders would know how to fix it if it failed.
So, there would have to be a repair tech aboard on all flights? Can't fix a broken wire or hose from the office.
I am a repair tech... and I AINT and AINT with EMPHASIS... Flying with that thing!
Sparkie where the heck have you been lol.
I've been around.... Just haven't been as talkative lately
