Developer Yacine gives an update on his AI drone project: aiming for a 3-minute flight demo, he plans to ditch hobby LiPo batteries and build his own lion batteries since he isn't chasing super speed, to see how far he can push his custom drone. He stresses the compute module and AI software should work with any drone at all.
