An engineering firm is designing the pathfinding and emergency obstacle-avoidance algorithm for an autonomous medical delivery drone.
Before writing any programming code, the development team decides to model the algorithm's logic using both flowcharts and pseudocode.
Explain the distinct advantages of using each of these design methods for this system, and why relying on only one would be insufficient.
