Smart as a Bird: Flying Rescue Robot Will Autonomously Avoid Obstacles

Sometimes a human driver could not always react fast enough to avoid an accident but now with new technology we might be able to make impossible to happen. Now they are making a robot that can fly and navigate its self trough many obstacles. This might help alot with search and rescue. Robots use gps to guide them to were they want to go but in a forest its to far away to make a 3d images. So now there trying to improve that. They have taken it for 53 test in terrain full of obstacles while two failed because of the wind, so they are also trying to factor that in.
