Bee-Nav: Tiny Neural Network Inspired by Honeybee Learning Flights Enables Visual Homing in Simulation and Limited Real-World Drone Tests

A Nature research paper proposes Bee-Nav, which trains a small neural network during robotic learning flights to map omnidirectional images to a home vector. Real-world drone tests returned to within 0.5 m of home for all 30–110-m flights using a 3.4-kB network. The approach requ…
