I thought this would interest you. These little drone remote control helicopters are becoming very popular despite the $1000-and-up price tag. This video illustrates how clever they are becoming. With a single click, the helicopter can visually identify you, determine its position relative to you, and follow you. This video is a little tedious but shows you some glitches when it loses "capture" of the target. The helicopter has sensors to avoid obstacles along the way.

Here is a smoother video showing the end result of a tracking video.
When the controller loses communication with the helicopter, it returns to its starting point. It even avoids obstacles as it flies autonomously to its starting point, as this videos demonstrates.
Amazing technology.
