The paper presents a simple method for obstacle detection and avoidance. The system can be applied for unmanned multirotors and is based on laser scanner detections. What is more, the proposed system supports the pilot during the manual flights. The proposed simple obstacle detection and avoidance algorithm was described in details. The main aim of the work was the in-flight test. The results were presented in the UAV trajectories plot and PWM control signal time plots. Obtained results validate the effectiveness of the proposed collision avoidance method. The described approach helps to ensure collision free conditions for UAV operators.
