MIT and UPenn Researchers Develop MIGHTY System for Millisecond Obstacle Avoidance and Optimal Drone Path Planning
Researchers from MIT and the University of Pennsylvania have developed MIGHTY, an open-source trajectory planning system that uses Hermite spline mathematics to simultaneously optimize flight time and path. The system enables drones to react to obstacles in milliseconds, reaching destinations approximately 15% faster than state-of-the-art methods, and requires no expensive commercial software licenses — making it broadly applicable to disaster search and rescue, urban delivery, and industrial inspection.
