The authers aim at developing ultralight autonomous microflyers capable of freely flying within houses or small built environments while avoiding collisions. Their latest prototype is a fixed-wing aircraft weighing a mere 10 g, flying around 1.5 m/s, and carrying the necessary electronics for airspeed regulation and lateral collision avoidance. This microfiyer is equipped with two tiny camera modules, two rate gyroscopes, an anemometer, a small microcontroller and a Bluetooth radio module. In-flight tests were carried out in a new experimentation room specifically designed for easy changing of surrounding textures.
