Alphabet’s 4G connection balloons have deployed new navigation systems using deep reinforcement-learning AI that is teaching itself to optimize navigation. The balloons can navigate the stratosphere in an autonomous and stable fashion, enhancing the internet coverage of these floating cell towers.
It is the first time that such technology, resulting from a collaboration between Loon and Google AI, Alphabet’s division specialized in artificial intelligence, is used in aerospace.
This artificial intelligence is based upon deep reinforcement-learning. This learning technique allows the balloons to learn from each new experience, even failures. This means that automated learning tr…
