Hunter's comment

When a drone/quadrotor/quadcoptor passes through an unknown gap, there is a chance it'd collide with the sides. To solve this problem, researchers and practitioners have been using a 3D reconstruction of the scene, which is being inefficient as it is not task driven.

Now think about flying insects and birds, how do they navigate? No previously developed 3D map is available for them.

"We use this philosophy to design a minimalist sensori-motor framework for a quadrotor to fly though unknown gaps without a 3D reconstruction of the scene using only a monocular camera and onboard sensing."
