R1 uses simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to construct and update a map of an environment, and keep track of a person's location within it. |
R1 uses deep-learning algorithms to detect and avoid obstacles like tree branches. |
R1 can fly gracefully around obstacles because it's constantly planning into the future based on its 3D understanding of the world and a subject's movements. |
