The Chinese have taught a swarm of drones to fly through bamboo thickets.

Chinese engineers taught a swarm of drones to move through the forest and demonstrated this by flying through bamboo thickets as an example. The drones constantly exchange information and fly as a single unit, but at the same time they can slightly deviate from the general trajectory if there is an obstacle in the way. Drone swarms can come in handy in a variety of situations. For example, they have already been used as a distributed set of sensors, which helped to find the location of a gas leak.
