In the new Talking Robots podcast, Jean-Christophe Zufferey presents his 10g micro-flyer which uses vision as main source of information to autonomously navigate in indoor environments. As can be seen from this video, it looks similar to a plane but its flight dynamics have much more in common with a fly. In the interview Jean-Christophe Zufferey explains how his bio-inspired approach has allowed him to develop this ultra-light, autonomous platform, and gives us an inside view of developments for flying robots today and in the future.
