Drones Performing Autonomous Under Canopy Navigation and Mapping in Dense Forests

It is no secret that drones are quite handy for exploring remote and hard to access areas. This video from Kostas Alexis shows drones performing under-canopy navigation, exploration and mapping in dense forests. A learning-based navigation approach was used that calculates collision-free actions without access to any form of consistent map. The below videos shows how it works:
