The algorithm, called “Sniffy Bug,” works by sending a swarm to fly in “chainsaw” patterns to find the walls. They can also detect one another in the air to avoid collision and collectively map the space. They can communicate with one another when one detects the source of a gas leak or other potential threat.

The scans are performed by using either a laser scanner or photogrammetry, which is used in the creation of 3D models with drone photos. What is interesting in the linked video is how Tesla is using point cloud data for obstacle avoidance.
