New Algorithm Trains Drones to Fly Around Obstacles at High Speeds

If you keep up with independent drone auto racing, you likely think about the accidents as much as the victories. In drone racing, groups compete to see which drone is better to fly fastest through an obstacle course. However, the faster flight increases its instability, and also at high speeds, the rules of aerodynamics...
