computer science professor Aniket Bera posted a 44-second video on 24 October showing an autonomous drone following a running person through dense forest without GPS or a pre-existing map, India Today reports. The drone estimates its own movement, maps nearby obstacles, and predicts where the runner is heading when a tree blocks the camera, with the decisions made onboard.
The report says it could support search and rescue in future. The evidence is one demonstration video and the professor's own social media description. No test numbers or paper are cited.
