MAV Research Update: Hostage Rescue Mission Strategy

Explore MIT's strategy to use Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) for a simulated hostage rescue mission. The scenario involves terrorists holding hostages in a bank building, with MAVs tasked to assist in the rescue operation by mapping the environment and identifying obstacles using sensors and tracking software.
