Miniature Helicopters: Shaping the Future of Aviation

The video discusses the potential of miniature helicopters in shaping aviation's future. These autonomous helicopters can navigate pre-planned routes and respond to unexpected obstacles using advanced technologies like GPS, cameras, and laser range finders. Funded by the US Department of Defense, the project aims to perform dangerous military missions. Initiated by the University of California in 1986, the project also envisions applications in traffic surveillance, border control, and forest fire monitoring.
