Neuromorphic Algorithms Allow MAVs To Avoid Obstacles With Single Camera

First time accepted submitter aurtherdent2000 writes "IEEE Spectrum magazine says that Cornell University has developed neuromorphic algorithms that enable MAVs to avoid obstacles using just a single camera. This is especially relevant for small and cheap robots, because all you need is a single camera, minimal processing power, and even more minimal battery power. Now, will we see more of the drones and aerial vehicles flying all around us?"

MAV?

I'm not sure what a MAV is....
Googling...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_air_vehicle [wikipedia.org]

Would it have killed the editors to define that?

My mother had a car accident in her twenties and lost sight in one eye. She spent years relearning how to perceive distance, but eventually she went back to her normal life. She could drive perfectly, both in the city (and driving in Mexico City is not for amateurs) and on the road.
