Fully-autonomous helicopter detects and avoids obstacles in its path at speeds over 20 knots. This is a demonstration by Carnegie Mellon to DARPA in 2007.

The system used a custom 3-D scanning LADAR to detect obstacles as small as a 6mm 2%-reflective wire at 90 meters distance. It then reacted to unmapped obstacles in the appropriate manner, arriving at its destination with no intervention from the operators.
