Italy will host the 2K21 European Indoor Championship for Nitro and Electric Off-Road 8th scale buggies. The race is promoted by ACI, the Italian RC Automobile Federation and FIA card and will take place from 29 to 31 October 2021 at the indoor facility of the IBR Padova.
If you like racing, coding and drones then you can’t miss the AlphaPilot Innovation Challenge. Lockheed Martin (a global security and aerospace company that employs approximately 100,000 people worldwide) and The Drone Racing League (DRL) challenge you to participate to this open innovation challenge, developing artificial intelligence (AI) for high-speed racing drones.
The future of racing is finally here: AlphaPilot will challenge teams of up to 10 participants each to design an AI framework (build on the NVIDIA Jetson platform) capable of flying a drone without any human intervention or navigational pre-programming. These AI Drones will race head-to-head through complex, three-dimensional tracks in DRL’s new Artificial Intelligence Robotic Racing (AIRR) Circuit, starting this year.
