Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, command an increasingly ubiquitous presence in the 21st century: they’re a fixture in our farms, backyards, and even the White House. Now, drones are invading our universities.
A recent demonstration proved it’s possible to commanded three fully autonomous UAVs collaborating as a team. The machines flew in close formation at the same altitude, separated by approximately 50 meters as they did figure-eight patterns.
