Drone dodges stuff thrown at it

Drones are getting better at autonomously navigating the world, but one thing they still aren’t so great at? Avoiding moving obstacles.

A team of researchers from the University of Maryland and University of Zurich have been working to make drones more nimble by equipping them with a combination of artificial intelligence and event cameras, an advanced type of sensor.

They describe their latest research in a recently published paper on the pre-print server arXiv — and because hearing about an obstacle-avoiding drone isn’t as fun as actually seeing one in action, a new demo video of the craft dodging hurled balls, toys, and even another drone was created.
