Explores collaborative mapping and task allocation in drone swarms, suggesting effective autonomous behavior in emergencies.

Yet, within minutes, they have mapped the area, located the survivors, and divided the tasks among themselves—without ever connecting to a central computer. How? They learned from each other, on the fly.
