Robot coordination
In his lab at Penn, Vijay Kumar and his team build flying quadrotors,

If these things can keep from running into each other, why is it so hard to design and implement a system to keep sailplanes apart? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfR6t...otation_459294 Boggs

Really? I thought they were sensing each other in some way?
