Flexible flight corridors let drones navigate cluttered spaces faster and more safely

Researchers at Durham University have developed a new drone navigation system that enables autonomous aircraft to fly faster, more smoothly and more safely through crowded and obstacle-filled environments. This leads to new possibilities for applications such as search and rescue, infrastructure inspection and environmental monitoring.

Drones Can Now Navigate Tight Spaces at Higher Speeds

Researchers at Durham University have developed a navigation system that allows autonomous drones to fly faster and more smoothly through crowded spaces without reducing safety. The technology, called CORTO-Planner, could expand the use of drones in search and rescue, environmental monitoring, industrial inspections and warehouse operations. It may be especially useful in places where aircraft […]
