The Crazyflie Swarm is a Networked Control platform designed for students to learn more about control and for researchers that wish to apply their research in practice. Platform development was started during the Summer of 2015 and continues to this day.
Here you will find descriptions on how the platform works, how you can use it, and how you can get involved in developing the platform further!
Frequently Asked Questions
For help with common problems and troubleshooting please see the FAQ.
Background
The Crazyflie Swarm platform is based off of the Crazyflie Nano-quadcopter produced and maintained by Bitcraze. The Crazyflie is completely open-source so we are able to look at and modify any part of the code and customize it to our needs.
Major Platform Components:
