Self-flying Drone Avoids Obstacles at 30 Miles per Hour

  Check out this Self-flying Drone Avoids Obstacles at 30 Miles per Hour. It looks like this technology is is not just for smart cars trying to avoid pedestrians and parked cars. CSAIL PhD student Andrew Barry has made this project open source for everyone to benefit from. It can fly through the treetops and dynamically avoid branches and tree trunks. It does this by using a stereo vision system.
