Collision Prevention

Hello, We have been getting a few requests to have our UAV “auto-yaw” to prevent collision with obstacles. For example, let’s say we have a curved hallway, and our operator wants to fly straight down it. The operator should just move the stick forward and the drone will follow the wall around [image] We were thinking of doing this on the PX4 side. Has anyone thought to do this before, and if so are there any algorithms/research we can reference to implement this?
