These drones world know each other because of flight

Flying robots can already identify some of the things in themselves, and sometimes improvise, but ideally they do not need help - should find their way even if they are in an unfamiliar area. University of Sheffield may be close to achieving that dream.

Drones in the experimental combination of reference points in camera shots with air sensors and ultrasound is not only a map of their environment, but understand that they can detect objects of interest to explore on your own. This can be particularly useful for rescue teams and others in dangerous situations because they can identify survivors or operate machinery while keeping human intervention to a minimum.

Decisive, and we know that these drones also how to deal with each other, gradually learn to predict the behavior of other robots and coordination so that they can pass without collision. The researchers believe they will eventually get the full helicopter squadrons cooperation in projects without the need to pre-programmed procedures. Feeling the world of technology is still young, but he alludes to the future in terms of dealing with a human being in the air and use high-risk (or just too complex) without the need for close monitoring.
