Will robots control drones in the near future? Image source: Shutterstock (#578490211)
The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has secured a patent for technology they developed to let unmanned ground vehicles efficiently communicate with unmanned aerial systems. The ground vehicle controls the aerial device to receive information about the environment, allowing for better and safer maneuvering. The difference to similar systems is that there is no reliance on human control of either one of the two parts. “This strategy effectively allows a highly intelligent autonomous robot to remotely control less intelligent robots without human intervention,” Ryan Lamm, director of SwRI’s Applied Sensing Department, explains.
