This project was started in November
2008. The goal was to learn something about programming, electronics and control loops. Because I always need a cool project to learn new things, it was clear that something that can fly had to be built.
The project started as a "
tricopter-only" project, but as I wanted to build smaller vehicles with more payload capacity, I decided to make some
quadrotor,
hexacopter and
Y6 hexacopter firmwares too. My main interest is to build
very small MAVs that fly as good as larger ones (or even better) and that can be controlled by
wireless video link. I also experimented with autonomous flight in GPS-denied areas (
video), and with GPS assisted autonomous hover (
video). It would be cool to add more features to this project but I am pretty busy with my
PhD research. But maybe one day I could combine my scientific interests with my hobby projects...
