Neuromorphic Algorithms Allow MAVs To Avoid Obstacles With Single Camera

Posted by timothy on from the toys-r-us-next-year dept.

First time accepted submitter aurtherdent2000 writes "IEEE Spectrum magazine says that Cornell University has developed neuromorphic algorithms that enable MAVs to avoid obstacles using just a single camera. This is especially relevant for small and cheap robots, because all you need is a single camera, minimal processing power, and even more minimal battery power. Now, will we see more of the drones and aerial vehicles flying all around us?"

    I'm not sure what a MAV is....
    Googling...

    Would it have killed the editors to define that?
