Imagine a swarm of drones darting through dense forests like a scene from a sci-fi movie—except it’s real, and it’s happening now. A team at Zhejiang University has developed AI-powered drones that autonomously navigate forests, a breakthrough that could transform disaster response 🌍✨.
These thumb-sized drones ditch GPS and human pilots, relying instead on collaborative AI algorithms to map surroundings in 3D and avoid obstacles. ‘It’s like giving them eyes and brains,’ said Zhou Xin, a PhD researcher behind the project. 🧠👀
The tech could be a game-changer for emergencies: think earthquake rescues or wildfire tracking. ‘They can even monitor forest health tree by tree,’ added supervisor Gao Fei. 🌲🔥
No remote controls needed—these drones communicate mid-flight, making split-second decisions as a team. It’s drone squad goals, and the planet might just thank them. 🚁💡
