Researchers in the US are teaching high-speed drones
how to avoid obstacles in their flight path with very little notice.
The team working on the project at MIT's Computer
Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab are making their
algorithm open source so that others can use and adapt it.
One of the developers, Andrew Barry, told the BBC he
believed the technology could appear within commercial
products within two years.
