"One of the secret to Intel’s Shooting Star program is a desktop
software suite of programs. The drones’ routes are pre-programmed and
each drone does its own thing. The drones do not talk to each other and
they lack the hardware to detect collisions. The software determines
routes that eliminates collisions.
The drones are simple. They’re about the weight of a volleyball. The
housing is Styrofoam and there are simple metal cages around the four
props. They are designed to be assembled in less than 15 minutes and
Intel builds the drones in a facility in Germany. There are no screws
and everything snaps together. And then on the bottom of the drone is
the large, multicolored LED light that paints the sky."
I should think if they could talk or at least relate to each other, like a flock of birds, that would be better. Maybe that's still to come.
