But, according to How, one of the key challenges in multi-vehicle work involves communication delays associated with the exchange of information. In testing, their algorithmic fix resulted in a 100 percent success rate, guaranteeing collision-free flights among their group of drones. The test facility for the project is the Kresa Center for Autonomous Systems, an 80-by-40-foot space with 25-foot ceilings, custom designed for MIT’s work with autonomous vehicles — including How’s swarm of UAVs regularly buzzing around the center’s high bay. “One of the key challenges for any autonomous vehicle is how to address what else is in the environment around it,” he says. “It's a very noisy prediction process, given the uncertainty of the world,” How admits.
