The article discusses how biologists, computer vision researchers, and robotics engineers from five U.S. universities such as New York University, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are attempting to build an autonomous robot drone that can fly through a forest without human intervention. The colleges received money from the U.S. Office of Naval Research to build the robot, which will use cameras to see objects and software to recognize obstacles.
