Pretty neat! I'm sure they'll get to it eventually, but there's no advantage to having three drones in this demo, since the work isn't pipelined. It seems that a drone has to wait until one finishes picking stuff up before it can pick up something itself.


Right, but they're saving travel time. When one drone is flying back to grab a piece, the next drone is lowering a piece into place.


Indeed. Because the work IS pipelined

Pickup --> Travel --> Deploy --> Return to pickup


Just like starcraft SCVs!


It is pipelined, it isn't parallelized.
