Today's drone aircraft are capable of impressive feats of aerial acrobatics, but a single drone can't do much. Most proposed applications for drone aircraft call for a flock of them, but the risk of ...

Researchers developed a multiagent trajectory planning system that guarantees a group of drones working together in the same airspace will avoid collisions even if their communications to one another ...

Fully autonomous drones that can generate the fastest route, avoid obstacles and figure out where they are without using GPS can be very useful. Such an aircraft can be deployed indoors, in narrow ...

Drone racing is a relatively new sport, with drones racing around a track with obstacles the drones are required to avoid as quickly as possible. While drone racing is purely for fun, the technology ...

For the first time an autonomously flying quadrotor has outperformed two human pilots in a drone race. The success is based on a novel algorithm that calculates time-optimal trajectories that fully ...
