Most notable is that all the grad students got their undergrad degrees overseas.  It seemed to be using the camera for proximity detection similar to sonar.

Those chaps from Switzerland have that sorted don't they?

Wow the learning algorithms are getting more sophisticated day by day.  Has there been a break through in AI lately?

They only posted the things it *missed*; the sci-skeptic in me wonders how many things it did not miss.

However, the drone was probably reacting to real-time inputs from a vision system as Jack C points out.

Is there enough processing power in an AR to do this real time?

The process may be like this:  Object ----->(AR Cam)<---------->(Vision Algorithm in control)
