The Drone Revolution: Racing Toward Aviation’s Next Historic Firsts

By Futurist Thomas Frey

How tomorrow’s changemakers will earn their place in history through pioneering achievements in unmanned flight

Few of us remember the second person to circumnavigate the globe or the second company to deliver a package by air. History belongs to the firsts, and the rapidly evolving world of drone technology presents an unprecedented opportunity for visionaries to claim their permanent place in the record books.

Every emerging technology produces a cascade of “firsts” that define its trajectory and potential. From Orville Wright’s 12-second flight to Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier, aviation’s pioneers shaped how we understand what’s possible in the skies. Today’s drone technology stands poised to generate its own wave of historic achievements—but which will prove most significant?

A group of experts wants to study the brain waves and eye movements of people playing a video game in order to build an advanced AI that could coordinate the actions of military robots.

The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as DARPA, awarded a team from the University of Buffalo’s Artificial Intelligence Institute a $316,000 grant for the study.

Although swarm robotics is inspired by many things, including ant colonies, researchers believe that humans have a lot of potential to improve AI learning systems. The study of 25 video game players will include real-time strategy games such as StarCraft, Stellaris and Company of Heroes.
