Autonomous Research with AI: "Not all who wander are lost" — can a UAV learn a city by heart, with no GPS, no map on board, just a $4 flight computer?
Yes! An AI agent running an autoresearch loop of 81 experiments ($364) found a special-purpose neural memory architecture that ‘remembers’ an exact geo-location from an in-flight daytime picture of Berlin — typical miss 27 m, no GPS, no internet, no map on board, just a 3.1 MB file of weights that works on 96.5% of camera frames.
