A 10-gram Vision-based Flying Robot

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Antoine Beyeler, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, Adam Klaptocz

We aim at developing ultralight autonomous microflyers capable of freely flying within houses or small built environments while avoiding collisions. Our latest prototype is a fixed-wing aircraft weighing a mere 10 g, flying around 1.5 m/s and carrying the ...

Toward 30-gram Autonomous Indoor Aircraft: Vision-based Obstacle Avoidance and Altitude Control

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

We aim at developing autonomous micro-flyers capable of navigating within houses or small built environments. The severe weight and energy constraints of indoor flying platforms led us to take inspiration from flying insects for the selection of sensors, s ...
