Phantom 4 Drone can dodge obstacles and track humans

The Phantom 4 accomplishes this feat with the help of five cameras: two on the front and two on the bottom, plus the main 4K camera that has always been onboard to capture video. The images captured by these cameras are run through computer vision software which constructs a 3D model of the world around it that the drone can intelligently navigate.




A new feature called TapFly eliminates the need to learn the two-stick controller. Push one button to take off, set a maximum distance the drone can travel, and just tap on the live video feed that appears on your screen. The drone will move towards the horizon in the direction.

    It can't dodge bullets though!

    Good for Australia, where we have to throw rocks at it, but not sure about the US though!

    Half an hour in the air, is also very restrictive, maybe they should put a mini, nuclear, thermal generator on them, probably stay up there for 10 years.

    Although Uranium is heavy so maybe a year?
