    MIT's SANDO Planner Guarantees Drones Avoid Moving Obstacles in Unmapped Spaces

    MIT researchers developed SANDO, a flight planning system for drones that comes with a mathematical guarantee of avoiding moving obstacles in unmapped places, needing to know only how fast those obstacles could move. It beat several existing planners in simulations and avoided all moving obstacles in 12 real test flights.

    New Control Method Helps Two-Wheeled Robots Follow Paths With Sharp Turns

    A researcher designed a new control system that helps two-wheeled robots follow a route defined by any set of waypoints, including sharp turns, and showed it worked better than a common approach in simulations. It was also tested on a real robot, but the summary gives no numbers on how much better it performs.
