In this article "Drones recognize and follow forest trails in search of lost people" by Linda Seward and NCCR Robotics talks about how they setup this drone to be able to track trails in order to find people who have gotten lost. This was done by a team of Swiss students who have program a drone to be able to find lost people in the forest by using this algorithm that is called Deep Neural Network which it follows the trails to find the lost people. The drones don't rely on sensor instead it has two small cameras and the algorithm to be able to find the lost people. The did this because every years a lot of people get lost in the wild worldwide and roughly about 1000 people get lost in Switzerland alone so they made this drone to be able to help out the people not only in Switzerland but around the world to.
