Sikorsky Matrix: Advancing Autonomy Higher Levels

摘要

It seems like autonomous helicopters or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are all the rage these days. From individual UAVs being turned into package deliverers to a swarm of small quad-copters playing the James Bond theme, it seems like there is no limit to what we're going to ask these small rotorcraft to do. And while, from a technological standpoint, many of these accomplishments are pretty amazing, other than a public-relations grab or pure entertainment, few are of any measurable benefit.
