Unmanned Aircraft to Cooperate in Daring Hurricane Missions - Innovators

The video discusses the research led by Derek Paley, focusing on improving hurricane forecasts using unmanned aircraft. The research aims to enhance emergency response and reduce potential costs from hurricanes. Paley's lab at the University of Maryland explores collective behavior in groups, including insects, birds, and robots, and develops steering algorithms for unmanned vehicles. The work involves mathematical modeling and control algorithm design to address societal needs related to hurricanes.
