Crazyflie is an open-source and open-hardware nano quadcopter made by Bitcraze. There are several models available:

  • Crazyflie 2.X is a small quadrotor (9cm motor-to-motor, 27g).
  • Crazyflie Bolt is a flight controller for quadrotors that can be used for custom drones.

Both models have an extension port to allow to add hardware add-ons (so-called decks). Depending on the equipped decks, the Crazyflie platform can reach different levels of autonomy.

All models are supported by ROS and can be controlled from a host computer using a special USB dongle called Crazyradio PA.
