A 1.5g SMA-actuated Microglider looking for the Light

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Daniel Nicoud, André Guignard

Unpowered flight can be used in microrobotics to overcome ground obstacles and to increase the traveling distance per energy unit. In order to explore the potential of goal-directed gliding in the domain of miniature robotics, we developed a 22cm microglid ...

From Wheels to Wings with Evolutionary Spiking Neurons

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Jean-Daniel Nicoud

We give an overview of the EPFL indoor flying project, whose goal is to evolve neural controllers for autonomous, adaptive, indoor micro-flyers. Indoor flight is still a challenge because it requires miniaturization, energy efficiency, and control of non-l ...

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 ...

A 10-gram Microflyer for Vision-based Indoor Navigation

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

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