More Autonomous UAVs

Engadget

Creating a robot that can manage to fly around a room on its own without hitting a wall is a mean feat to pull off, but that’s exactly what a team of professors at MIT have managed to do. Their multiple-UAV test platform is capable of complex tasks like following moving ground-based objects with little or no direct control from a human

Currently this kind of tech only allows for one user to control more than one UAV. This control level will likely grow exponentially to a point where the user becomes more of an overseer than a controller.
