That is both amazing and terrifying at the same time.
Yeah, imagine these drones with explosives attached, destroying targets kamikaze-style. You run into a dense forest, and they slowly advance on you, and all you hear behind you is the howling of their motors. That would be pretty plausible even with today's technology.
It's like one of the probe droid from star wars
@@johnnysun6495 I am just about to say that ..
Are they waterproof ???
Of course, it's terrifying when it's not from the US
1:09 "In theory, the technology can help with aerial mapping for disaster relief". In theory, it can also be used in warfare to seek out and destroy an enemy at ground level.
Not with that noisy as# propeller
That's what I was thinking lol
I guess so.. scary i think. War in the future only robot vs robot.
An improved fast flying drone will be deadly and the propeller sound alone could inflict terror.
@@Al-sl5sn it can work against slow targets
Imagine you are hiding for your life in a forest at night, and suddenly you hear the sound of 100 armed drones looking for you
Wow, that would really be scary as frack.
if the drones are from China, you are safe
This looks like something out of a sci-fi movie
I'll be back....
The game - Ghost Recon Breakpoint .
The game is full with AI Killer drones
I have read this report somewhere else. These drones don't rely on internet connection, but process data on these drones themselves, which is why it made the front page of science magazines.
Slightly frightening
China has developed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can fly both on land and in the air, which are being trained using AI technology
Why would they rely on an Internet connection?
It is for Military purpose in the future for sure to track enemies rather than aerial mapping for disaster !
Agree. All I see is how can this be use to tracks enemies in dense vegetation forest. Arm with heat seeking sensor camera you can scan for enemies hidden in the jungle.
You should also see another innovation by Shanghai Jiatong University. Drones can fly in the air and dive into the water and hunt for enemy's submarine. th-cam.com/video/EBMwjdXWjHk/w-d-xo.html
The test was carried out in the Hainan Island . Information can be sent back to the Chinese military on those militarised islands and fire one topedo or even the aircraft carrier. Kaboom!
This is 100% going to be used in warfare. They can already autonomously map and navigate through a forest, it won’t take long before they can detect and follow heat signatures and explode when in proximity. They will be floating claymore swarms in no time and research will be accelerated even further with military $$$
Hope this can be use for future search as rescue mission, I believe it’ll help a lot!
Yeah, if there is someone missing or a escaped prisoner you can just get these drones to help locate them
@@kanedawong you are missing don’t worry I will find you brother 😂
Or attack against human mission 😂😂😂
@@kanedawong if I see this lot coming I'm praying for a natural disaster. Ice storm, lightning strikes, forest fires... I'll take my chances with a tornado thanks very much.
@Nother Nobody
There is always that one person.
This is why we can’t have nice things. Smh
This show how advanced they are!! 👍👍👍
I hope all the drones in this world are being used in this kind of peaceful ways.
Uhm...this is how AI will hunt humans hiding in the forest.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No.
Press x to doubt
this is how you find bigfoot.
Find the souls that go missing or need help.
Map the terrain to find anomalies or pits, holes.
My India Modi will be very scary watching this
The best technology shown here is China’s awesome 5G coverage even in a mountainous bamboo forest.
6G is already a thing, With only the cost efficiency being worked on left
@@zve6 no it’s not
@@routiesero5632 they are researching, not that you can use it.
@@MrChad69420 I didn't say It can be used :/
@@MrChad69420 I only said it's a thing
So many applications for this amazing technology. These drones can be the next gardeners for agricultural and food preparation. Orchards as far as the eye could see. This is sensational outcome.
This is gonna be used to track people down hiding in the forest
war......
Agriculture are you joking?? Killing people and tracking “dissidents” is the truth
@@pangoprime8674 also don't make this political
look how tge dron cordinat one and another...this place so hard to go trough because that ga between bamboo not that big...this is ai

Looks like the chase on Endor in Return of the Jedi.
If that is what is advertised then we all know that there's something 50 times better than that already 🤔
lol no
You mean Chinese Military?
50 times? Big No!
@@michaelchen4879 US military budget is bigger than many countries.
@@rodrozil6544 guess you would rather me say 100 times! Phil Schneider go check out what he says
Another awesome opportunity for technology to have many purposes to help
Or hurt
it will mostly help police officers i think
@@guy2006 , Yeah, sure, like your sushi knife, all depending on how you use it and what your mental status is in. Or like a wine bottle, with which what Johnny Depp was being accused of doing -- using it to sexually assault Amber Heard, while the normal people would use it only for storing wine.
They are definently going to militarize this
Heeeelp an authoritarian regime control its populace?
i remember a drone being used for such in the movie Prometheus
是的，那个球形的扫描无人机对吧？
Make no mistake, disaster relief, search & rescue potential aside, police and military ARE taking VERY vested interest in these developments.
Criminals RIP
This can be used to find people lost in the forest!
@@nobody2087 I said this. It can be used for search and rescue efforts. It will also be horrifically abused by governments.

Come on this is freakin terrifying. Coordinating drones!! Just strap a weapon to those drones and you got robots hunting humans!!
Or, you can use them to scout earthquake victims in building ruins
@昨日阿富汗,今日烏克蘭,明日台灣島,靠美國,得滅亡 C’mon China is telling everyone it’s either going to take Taiwan peacefully or by force. China launched wars in India, remember? And now we both have a border conflict, China used microwave weapons on our soldiers and now this is the perfect tech for scouting the difficult terrain to make the mountains accessible for warfare and cartography.
Pretty sure ai will get the same regulation as biological, nuclear and chemical warfare. There will be limits that nations will all wish to keep to. Terrorism and intelligence service uses are another matter all together.
@昨日阿富汗,今日烏克蘭,明日台灣島,靠美國,得滅亡 Youre right. The western regime is evil and the aggressor. But just answer my question: How many of those wars started were from Jewish influence?
just strap explosive to the drone swarm and send them to enemy fortification or ruins in urban warfare. Instant win.
China Tech is so advanced. Wonderful and beautiful!
+5 social credit
Well, it also looks like future military hardware.
Yup! What about under water drones and can resurface and fly away? You should see another innovation by Shanghai Jiatong University. Drones can fly in the air and dive into the water and hunt for enemy's submarine. th-cam.com/video/EBMwjdXWjHk/w-d-xo.html
Test was done in the South China Sea.
Shocking Chinese drones. Wow!👍👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
the trees will not protect you forever -Drones
I suppose this technology can be used to explore and map caves, terrians, and if made waterproof, can be used to map underground rivers, streams, sea floors.
There are also algorithmns for cave navigation like prim jarnik or djikstras algorithmns
Or a killing machine
They can also quickly localize targets hiding in buildings in urban environments
To map underwater, they would need to be far more than just waterproof. They would need different propulsion systems, but the guidance system could surely be retrofitted to avoid underwater obstacles.
This is going to be weaponised
Excellent! Superb! Kudos to our Chinese friends for pushing the limits of current technology. Such technology has incredible potential in many areas including defense, disaster relief, space, Mars, Moon, conservation of wildlife, natural resources, and farming.
@666J6R6M6666 yes, that is a valid concern which must be managed.
This technology can save lives!!!
do you think the globalist will use it for that ?
Or can take lives
add a thermal scanner to find someone who got lost in the forest
@@yogasadana402 and also can do ambush on someone. Killer drones can be reality in future.
@@iitn8437 yeah,. it's like a double edged sword, depend on what's it used for
These are much more efficient than search-and-rescue dogs in locating victims being stranded in deep forest. While waiting for the arrival of the rescuse team, the drones can deliver food and first aids supplies once the victims are being located. This will save a lot of lives.
Yea these can be so useful in search and rescue. The swarm can sweep through locations effortlessly and may save many lives.
Few things strike me as futuristic as much as a swarm of hovering, buzzing robots deftly scanning through a forest.
I love this channel it shows me things I can't even imagine
Wow. VERY cool tech. Wonder if some country will say that this is "stolen tech" too...🤣😂
@@user-dn8td2cq1j like India have this haha
@@user-dn8td2cq1j who cares who had it first ..it's what u do with it ...would u rather drive a ford or a porsche
@@user-dn8td2cq1j May be in the movies from Taiwan or US
@@AfridiBD lol
@@user-dn8td2cq1j Show taiwan drones like this
Coming to a frontline near you...
Drone: you can run but you can't hide
What a beautiful test! Love it, when things go so smoothly.
This level of automation is so lightyears ahead! Great advancement! 🤩🤩🤩
Lightyear is a unit of Distance and not time!
@@sukhkaur9440 i can find a unit of measurement for time to exaggerate! 😂😂😂
Don't worry about lightyears unit measurements. This is published in the New Scientist magazine a world renowned publication equivalent to the Nature in the UK.
@@LittleMissRollerCoaster 👍👈
Could find a lost child.
This is more realistic experiments !
Drones can help citizens in the future 👍
Really cool!
"An algorithm guides the robots to avoid collision, fly efficiently and coordinate as a team".
Militaries around the world:
Americans: Chinese stole our technology.
Combination of Robotics & AI is great, but only become amazing depending on the ultimate intention and purpose. Advanced tech is always a double- sided sword and depending on the user.

Imagine in the future, these drones will be used as explosive suicide drones, or drones that can navigate harsh terrain of a war
You bet
Usa has done this already

Very few companies/universities capable of developing such excellent tech!
The era of robotic war getting closer
If this technology gets perfection, it can be used towards future antigravity vehicle's
mobility-navigation/landing through any dense surface without need for runways.... :)
Too late those are the so called ufo ships
Amazing feat of evolving the swam algorithm to a new level
Imagine an army of these in their thousands used for scouting or sar. Or hunting a fugitive
And what application will the drones be used in "search and rescue" ?
Search enemy and rescue freedom.
Great job. Zhejiang University (浙大) is the best in China
That is amazing innovation. Jia you China - keeping the world save.
"In theory, they can be used for disaster relief...." No, it's weapons. They'll be used for weapons.
Bingo.
@@styroreality No, it's for disaster relief, same as our satellites!

Tbh, it could be used for both lol
The drones could hunt people in the woods. It's freaking scary
and deliver the payload
It would be nice to watch a drone light show in the bamboo forest.
Collision avoidance how? Computer vision through camera or LiDAR sensors?
but they told me china can't innovate!
they can't
Imagine what would happen when governments/militaries get their hand on this technology.
they are behind all of these so they already got their hands on this technology
They already have lol
@@stivi739 LOL..agree..they already do...these guys are secondary, trying to improve it.....
What🤦🏽

Sweet! Nice work. If I could get my hands on one.
there is gonna be a new sound of fear while hiking in forests
This reminds me of the drone attack scene from the movie "ANGEL HAS FALLEN" starring Gerard Butler! Scary😭😱😰
Very useful for search and rescue missing people on forest

Increíble!!
Most impressive!!
Great for search and rescue with thermal imaging
now imagine each one is actually a handgrenade
Seems like this could be useful in search and rescue.
imagine waking up in 2050 in the middle of the night to get a glass of water and you just hear and see a swarm of drones flying out the woods towards your nearest military base and critical infrastructure....now imagine it in 2030 because thats the more likely year
yeah Im thinking sometime in the 2030s aswell. tech evolves so ridiculously fast now
Chinese engineering is epic
想到了，电影普罗米修斯里那颗在外星飞船里释放的扫描球 ...
This is going to be the most terrifying and scary sound of the future.
Still the propellers best be protected in a frame and mesh.
Hope they have frame & mesh protection for drone taxi as well as for say DJI
They probably just want a proof of concept / work first but yeah I agree
according to publication on this project, these drones rely only on wireless communiction between themselves and depth cameras for collision avoidance and navigation. so there is no cellular coverage (3/4/5/6G, etc) , no prior knowledge of the enrionment, for instance, maps and so on.
You missed one item - Beidou
"in theory they can flush out enemy soilders from dense forest or urban areas"
No need for Agent Orange
Proud of You #PakChina friendship ❤️
This can be used to uncover mysteries of BIG Foot and alien mystery.
Imagine you fighting a battle in some forest and than you hear a noise only to emerge from the thick of the forest hundreds of fully armed ground drones, it’s getting harder and harder
Everyone’s worried but I though this was brilliant in case someone was lost in mountains or so this would be a great method to scan and search at a fast pace rather that having a crowd searching for people.
unless you were being invaded and trying to hide in the mountains yourself. In which case you would be glad to know these drones would hunt you down with amazing speed
That's it, we're going to have to increase drone tariffs 100% and sanction the bamboo forest
My decades of training on Halo destroying Sentinels will not be in vein...
Using vslam?
Any links to papers?
Amazing!
If this is possible each drone has to have an atomanus driver ?or is all drones flying under one control of a labtop server?
This is satisfying to watch. Seeing these drones feels like a dream come true.
Getting attacked by Drones feels like a dream come true ?
Who's dream exactly? Mao? Stalin?
@@truewealth50 like Afghan innocent family hit by USA military drone
@@kvdp9543Obomba’s dream
I respect chinese people for all their innovations
You must be living under a rock, skydio an american company has been selling drones that do this for under $1000 for 4 years now
Yeah? Then why does us military, Russia, Ukraine etc all use Chinese dji drones? Why does dji have 80%+ market share of civilian drones just by itself, not even counting other Chinese drones companies?
Where are the videos of skydio drone swarms flying through a thick forest autonomously?
Can you link me to those videos? Because I can't find it. They show just done tracking a car or something out in open space. Not thick forest with branches and leaves everywhere and in massive drone swarm and networked together. These don't even need cellular coverage(4g/5g etc) and don't need pre programmed maps or terrain knowledge. They figure everything out themselves with local on board sensors and systems, don't need satellite communication like space X starlink.
Please show me those videos from skydio, I would love to see it. In reality I'm guessing they are even inferior to dji drones, let alone these state of the art swarm drones with autonomous systems and sensors and have object avoidance without any pre mapping or terrain/obstacle scanning etc.
What does radar do? These are all training their collaborative ability and obstacle avoidance ability. Each drone is autonomous, and now there are dozens of drones that may appear in the same area at the same time in the future, which would be fatal... It is impossible to intercept them one by one. China already has this type of mini drone that integrates sea, land, and air, which is currently being tested
What is that sound? A MOSQUITO? no... THAT SOUNDED MORE THAN ONE. RUN AWWAAY
This is giving me Sonic movie 1 vibes when the badniks are finding sonic
Mr.south china morning post, how many theman women admin drone thats it?
this is the drone tht i wanted
Great tech for Search and Rescue too.
... And suddenly those little critters are not CGI anymore. If this is what is demonstrated for the general public, just imagine what the undisclosed advanced military grade will be capable of.
And I am speaking on the robotic and nano technology field as well. The military grade will indeed blow our minds off had they been disclosed. 🤯
Please add Skynet to the swarm
We all know what these drones will eventually be used for...
used for defend their country and people to make sure they are not next Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
All of China's weapons are for defense, unlike some countries that have their own military bases all over the world
Seeing what modern drone warfare has accomplished on the modern battlefield - see Azerbaijan's overwhelming victory in their war against the defacto Armenian regions within their country and Ukraine pretty much stalling Russia, this technology is a game changer.
This video should terrify every single person.
This will be used in warfare and it will be absolutely terrifying.
Russia's warfare doctrine of ignoring drones warfare had cost them heavily! The whole world will put further effort towards drone warfare development in the near future.
Sci-fi movies always have stuffs like swarms of drone like this, but it is now becoming a reality. Yeah, this is going to be terrifying for soldiers in future wars, it is like terminators are coming for you.
Azerbaijan are the one that use the drone warfare not the armenia 😐
@@thecoolzguy832 that's what I meant to say but my English wasn't clear - will update my sentence and make it clearer

@@Darko-kn6il Drones are to war today what the tank was to WW1 or the Maxim gun was to European colonial warfare against the locals they ruled over. Any country refusing to incorporate drone warfare into their military will lose all advantages on the battlefield.
Just gotta make sure they don't scare the pandas away
This will help search and rescue teams a lot.
Put in sound recognition and unleash the search party.
those things make the most annoying mosquito sounds
It can also use in avoiding bullets..
imagine million of this with camera and C4 charges
Listen carefully to that sound they're making. Behind the buzzing you can just make out "we're from the government and we're here to help".
Search and rescue mission, now it's faster.
Now they can find bigfoot
