## AI overview

A builder-focused overview of autonomous drone navigation. It explains how sensors, estimation, planning, communication, software, and AI work together, traces navigation from manual control through AI-driven autonomy, and discusses where AI-agent capabilities help versus remain research demonstrations.

## Source excerpt

This article is a builder's tour of how AI and autonomy come together to make a drone navigate on its own, and the classical stack that actually flies today.
