The Distributed Flight Array

The Distributed Flight Array is a multi-rotor vehicle that is being developed at ETH Zurich. This vehicle consists of autonomous single-rotor modules that are able to drive, dock with its peers, and fly in a coordinated fashion. These modules are organized as distributed computational units with minimal sensory input. Experimental demonstrations in docking, driving, and flying have proven its feasibility as a research platform for investigating techniques in distributed estimation and control.
