Autonomy and AI

As I have gone through the motions to teach myself how to use Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, I have started to build out my small skillset. In this journey I have found that I was lacking in certain areas of Python, so I have gone backwards to relearn some areas that I felt I was deficient. Primarily, I used courses offered from Udemy.
While catching up on some areas that I missed during my first swing at self teaching, I have started to learn more and more about how to run machine learning on my computer. I have managed to get AirSim by Microsoft running on Unreal Engine. This allows me to run a virtual world and a virtual quadcopter to test my python scripts and computer vision, before actually putting it on a real aircraft.
