| Test | Outcome | |------|---------| | (4K/60 fps, 12 mm focal) | Stable hover with <0.01° drift over 10 min; no noticeable rolling shutter. | | Cruise‑to‑Target (30 m/s, 10 km) | Reached destination in 5 min 32 s, battery at 73 % (cruise mode). | | Obstacle Course (dense trees, moving birds) | 100 % avoidance rate, 2 s average deviation around obstacles. | | LiDAR Mapping (150 m range, 0.15 m point density) | Produced a 3‑D point cloud comparable to a terrestrial lidar scanner (±5 cm error). | | Thermal SAR (night, 20 °C ambient) | Detected a human heat signature from 180 m, relayed coordinates in <3 s. | These advances, while spectacular, were constrained by :
The past decade has seen a convergence of three powerful currents: | | Obstacle Course (dense trees, moving birds)
