New algorithm keeps drones from colliding in midair

When multiple drones are working together in the same airspace, perhaps spraying pesticide over a field of corn, there's a risk they might crash into each other. To help avoid these costly crashes, MIT researchers presented a system called MADER in 2020. This multiagent trajectory-planner enables a group of drones to formulate optimal, collision-free trajectories. Each agent broadcasts its
