Small but powerful aerial robots, specially programmed to avoid mid-air collisions, could help pilot the future of aviation. "It's programmed into the individual vehicles that may come in conflict with each other," said Dr. Claire Tomlin, professor of electrical engineering at both UC Berkeley and Stanford. "We would like to have guarantees that these algorithms will safely guide the vehicles away from each other."
