'SANDO' system ensures a robot's flight path will remain collision-free in uncharted territory
Uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) could fly deep into the heart of a raging wildfire, avoiding sudden flare-ups and dodging falling tree branches to gather critical information for rescuers. But in this dangerous situation, the UAV could easily be damaged or destroyed by falling debris.
Science and Heitech: The engineers of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed the SANDO navigation system, which allows the drone to make its own way into an unknown environment with obstacles.
A system created by MIT researchers calculates flight routes that avoid mobile obstacles even when the drone does not know the environment. SANDO combines a formal security guarantee with a planning that is updated as the vehicle advances, a feature that could be useful in rescues, mines and deliveries.
