The P-51 does have low drag, but why? Is it really because it has a laminar flow wing and a thrust producing radiator. Continue reading
Improving Drone Collision Avoidance with Stereo Cameras
Three drones were used as target drones in the experiments in order to evaluate the generalization capability of the model to different drone modalities
Recently, a team of researchers from Madrid Polytechnic University, MIT, and Texas A&M University produced real-world results in active collision monitoring and avoidance by building an integrated system of a simple camera and data processing setup well suited for smaller drones. Continue reading
