Engineers enable a drone to determine its position in the dark and indoors

A new low-power system using radio frequency waves takes a major step toward autonomous, indoor drone navigation. In the future, autonomous drones could be used to shuttle inventory between large warehouses. A drone might fly into a semi-dark structure the size of several football fields, zipping along hundreds of identical aisles before docking at the…
