Autonomous Drone Swarming with Distributed Consensus
Quick fact
Some drone swarms can rethink their coordination hundreds of times per second, adjusting to obstacles or new tasks in milliseconds, all without a human or central computer directing them.
Why this is interesting
Imagine a flock of birds moving as one—no leader, no signals—just a perfect dance. How can hundreds of drones perform the same feat without a central brain?
