Coordinated drones fly in synchronized flocks

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) — Flying a single autonomous drone already has its challenges. Now multiply that by 25. That’s what scientists at the University of Southern California (USC) are doing: creating ‘flocks’ of coordinated drones capable of intricate, synchronized maneuvers. Their aerial performances are the result of complicated coding and algorithms – which ensure that each drone maintains its own path, avoiding the airspace of its neighbors. The drones are monitored by a series […]
