RE: Drone in a Forest: Smart Sensors at Work
Wow, that's really cool. BUT to be honest i saw that on Star Wars so why didn't you use the lasers?

Lasers are much more expensive, heavy and not fast enough for this task...especially if you need eye-safe performance.
That's the best reason. It's neat contraption, it's cool it dodges the trees and all. I guess in the future it will drop supplies to forest firefighters.
Can it be calibrated to work in smokey conditions?
Let's say that (subject to funding :-) I believe we can engineer a system suitable for smoky conditions, possibly using a mix of technologies.
how many steem dollars we talking here? lol

I would not throw a figure on the table out of the blue, but if one sets a specific operational goal, an estimate can be done...and perhaps one could crowdfund the project on steemit :-)
my mind is going wild with the idea of an UAV that autonomously dodges trees and branches. the other uses like crowd control and getting into buildings for search and rescue... like that is amazing.
It is :-)
