Prof. Darius Burschka uses the principle of standing bearing to avoid collisions between vehicles or drones.


    • Prof. Darius Burschka learned it from sailors

    Calculate impending collisions of flying drones or cars in traffic in advance and thus avoid them: That is the goal of Darius Burschka. To do this, the professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) tracks every point of an image taken by the cameras of a drone in the air or a vehicle on the road. In principle, he is proceeding in exactly the same way as seafarers have always done with the standing bearing.

    The compound eye of a wasp gave Burschka an idea. By swiveling its body horizontally back and forth, the insect probes which objects are close and which are farther away. This is how she builds her mental map when she is on the move. ...
