In a groundbreaking development, Hungarian scientists at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest have successfully demonstrated the capabilities of a drone swarm that operates autonomously without centralized control. The swarm, consisting of 100 drones, showcases the result of over a decade of research and experimentation in the field of unmanned flight.
Guided by research on the collective movements of creatures from the natural world, the drones in the swarm make real-time decisions on collision avoidance and trajectory planning without the need for pre-programming. This innovative approach mimics natural swarming behavior, allowing the drones to coordinate individual routes and tasks in dense aerial traffic.
