According to foreign media reports, Julián Estévez, a researcher at the Computational Intelligence Group (GIC) of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), has developed low-cost autonomous navigation technology using only airborne sensors and cameras that can prevent two or more drones from colliding when crossing air paths.

The results confirmed: “Although the technology has reduced cost, this newly developed solution has been successfully verified in commercial drones.
Using simple, low-cost equipment and algorithms based on artificial vision and color recognition, we have developed powerful technologies that prevent collisions between robots and can be easily rolled out to most commercial and research aerial robots.
We also provided the complete software code for the solution.
” The research results have been published in the journal Aerospace Science and Technology.
, Most common drones are manned, even if they are out of sight of the operator.
For drones to be fully autonomous, they must be able to make their own flight decisions without human intervention.
In other words, they must decide how to avoid collisions, maintain course when encountering gusts, control flight speed, and avoid buildings and trees, etc.
