Terrifying footage has emerged showing Chinese super drones hunting down humans in packs, sparking fears they could soon be primed to kill.
The breakthrough achievement has prompted concerns that they could put to sinister use.
A team from Zhejiang University in China released incredible footage of 10 lightweight drones filmed moving swiftly between trunks, uneven ground, weeds and tangled branches.
The impressive bit of hardware runs off an algorithm and charts surroundings in real-time meaning it can readjust its flight path in an instant, according to The Telegraph.
According to experts, these high-tech drones update every few milliseconds which means they can avoid colliding with other objects and can quickly regroup with others to flight with super efficiency.
And because they don’t need GPS signal, they can be easily deployed in areas with poor satellite coverage.
Experts say the tech will make surveying remote wildlife or hunting for survivors in disaster zones much easier.
