MIT's SANDO planner keeps drones clear of moving obstacles in unknown spaces

MIT researchers led by Jonathan P. How have built SANDO, a trajectory planner that builds time-aware safe corridors around moving obstacles so drones can fly without collisions in unmapped areas. It beat rival planners to the goal in simulation and avoided every dynamic obstacle across 12 real flights, with search and rescue, mine exploration and delivery as target uses.
