Stanford University Autonomous Helicopter

The Stanford University Autonomous Helicopter is a research project that develops drones capable of flying and navigating independently. Equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, and onboard computers, it can assess its environment, avoid obstacles, and perform complex maneuvers without human control. This technology advances understanding of autonomous aviation, with applications in surveillance, delivery, and rescue operations. The system combines aeronautical engineering with artificial intelligence, allowing the helicopter to make real-time decisions and adapt to changing conditions, contributing to safer and more efficient unmanned aerial systems.
