No, that's not what I had in mind. > You seem to base this ability on the proximity database you describe earlier, If you say so, but that wasn't my intent. > "fly around it in a circle" etc separately, and that is a very hard problem The first thing that I actually did suggest was possible. Using lidar to make sure you don't bump into anything, fly left of the object and once lidar indicates you've cleared it in the other axis fly "towards it. Continue until you've circled it (although, in this scenario it's a square). Made much easier because quadcopters fly so it's much less likely to bump into something. Here's a video where someone claims to have an autonomous plane that avoids obstacles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qah8oIzCwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qah8oIzCwk That's the only thing my claim needs.

Obstacle avoidance is nothing like what you describe in both your previous posts. You're talking about an AI that can autonomously decide when it needs to refine its model of the world and then take appropriate action to do so. You are describing a system that can make autonomous decisions about where to go and what to do. The "only" thing that needs is full autonomy and general intelligence. I'm sorry if I don't understand what kind of database you mean, still, but that's because you keep describing it in very vague terms. First it was a "huge database" (of what?), then it was a "Database with objects likely to be found together and statistical weights next to them". What kind of objects, what kind of statistics and what kind of weights? I mean, if you yourself don't know what you're trying to say, don't blame me for not getting it.
