I'd imagine the software flying the drones would have to compensate for the downdraft of the nearby drones and the turbulence. It would be interesting to see the software side of things. Can't wait for the open source project.
- pjc50 7y agoI suspect it doesn't explicitly - provided it's got good enough positional information, it can just use all the traditional techniques of closed-loop control to get there and stay there. How it gets the positional information isn't clear. Some sources say GPS, I'm guessing that relies on the relative error being very small and not caring about the absolute error.
