Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for automatically identifying a checkpoint of a machine learning model for deployment. A plurality of checkpoints are generated during training the machine learning model. The machine learning model is trained on a set of training images. A plurality of subject images is generated by each of the plurality of checkpoints. Subject similarity and global difference between images in each pair of images are computed. Each pair of images comprises one of the set of training images and one of the plurality of subject images generated by each of the plurality of checkpoints. Image generation qualities of the plurality of checkpoints are evaluated based on the subject similarity and the global difference. The checkpoint of the machine learning model for deployment is automatically identified based on the evaluated image generation qualities.

Abstract: A teetering rotor hub is described. The teetering rotor hub may be able to couple to multiple rotor blades and to a rotor. The teetering rotor hub may be associated with an aerial system. The teetering rotor hub may be able to rotate about a rotor spin axis of an associated motor. The teetering rotor hub may couple to the rotor or shaft. In some embodiments, the rotor hub may couple to a pair of rotor blades. The teetering rotor hub may be able to teeter along a second axis that is offset from the rotor spin axis, where the offset may be between zero and ninety degrees. By varying a speed signal provided to the rotor, the rotor blades coupled to the rotor hub may be moved in various ways to generate flapping motions that are able to control the direction of movement of the aerial system.
