Evidence of Advanced Civilizations: researchers select 14 worlds from Kepler mission

Programming drones to fly in the face of uncertainty

Being able to avoid obstacles while traveling at high speeds is computationally complex, especially for small drones that are limited in how much they can carry onboard for real-time processing. With that in mind, a team from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed NanoMap, a system that allows drones to consistently fly 20 miles per hour through dense environments such as forests and warehouses. Uncertainty was the key part of their solution.
