Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have introduced a pioneering aerial robotic system, SUPER, a state-of-the-art micro drone equipped with an advanced 3D LiDAR navigation system. Unlike traditional drones, which rely primarily on vision sensors and struggle with motion inaccuracies, limited range, and poor performance in low-light conditions, SUPER represents a significant leap forward in autonomous aerial navigation.

Researchers at the Department of Biological Physics at ELTE (Eötvös Loránd University) have been working on swarm robotics and drone flocks since 2009. In 2014, they created the world’s first autonomously flying quadcopter fleet consisting of at least ten units. The research group has now reached a new milestone, publishing their work on self-driving traffic of one hundred drones in the Swarm Intelligence journal.
