Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have designed and tested an advanced aerial robot capable of navigating complex environments at high speeds of up to 20 meters per second.

Named SUPER, the drone uses cutting-edge LiDAR technology to detect and avoid obstacles, even thin wires that have posed challenges for traditional drones.

Super has potential applications in search and rescue but could also be used for law enforcement and military reconnaissance.
