They show a UAV that chases a person in the woods without GPS or communication Researchers at Purdue University's Idea Lab have created a UAV that can chase a person running through a dense forest without GPS, internet or operator control. He flies about two meters above the ground, at the speed of a running man, and independently plots his route. While moving, the UAV builds a three-dimensional map of trees and predicts where the target is moving, even when it disappears from sight behind the trunks. All calculations are carried out on board - there is no need for external navigation systems. American developers used open source software from the Mars Lab at the University of Hong Kong. Ideas Lab has already signed a contract with the US Army for $1.5 million.

Further tests are expected to continue in Ukraine.
