New neural networks show promise for drone control, but face bandwidth limits

Researchers have developed conditional invertible neural networks (cINNs) to serve as probabilistic inverse-dynamics models for controlling multirotor drones. In a 2-D proof of concept using an X8 coaxial multicopter, the cINNs achieved a reproduction accuracy of R^2 = 0.944 and a mean CRPS of 0.0915. While closed-loop scenarios showed comparable position RMSE to traditional methods, failures were observed under aggressive maneuvers and high-frequency references, indicating command bandwidth and data coverage as key limitations.
