Artificial intelligence takes over the drones An MIT mapping system allows unmanned aircraft to dodge obstacles at low speed     Can a drone only dodge an obstacle? The answer is yes.

"An approach that is more aware of uncertainty gives us a much higher level of reliability in terms of being able to fly close and avoid obstacles ."
