AI powered drone used to createa a detailed 3D map of the Dragon's Breath Cave

A team of researchers have mapped the mysterious Dragon's Breath Cave in Namibia, one of the world's largest underground lakes located below the Kalahari Desert. The lake's size and depth had been a problem for human divers who attempted to document it in the past. These weren't problems for the AI-powered underwater drone, nicknamed SUNFISH, which the team from Stone Aerospace, a company in Austin, Texas, used to create the first fully realized 3D map of the mysterious cave. A team of engineers from Austin traveled to Namibia to try and map one of the world's largest underground lakes, the Dragon's Breath Cave, with an AI-powered drone SUNFISH looks like a small enclosed canoe and is powered by a set of small propellers. It uses a sonar mapping system to create a 3D image of its surroundings, which an onboard AI system then uses to make decisions about where to go next.
