Open source

All our projects are open source and hosted at GitHub. We work together with our community of talented people to constantly evolve the ecosystem and add new functionality. We believe in transparency, complete freedom of modification and no lock-in effects in proprietary APIs.

Testimonials

Developers and researchers around the world are using our platforms for all kinds of research areas.

“The Crazyflie is easily obtainable, safe, and (we can certify ourselves) very robust. Moreover, since it is open-source and fully programmable, we were able to easily modify the Crazyflie to fit our needs.”

-Brandon Araki, researcher at MIT

“We use the Crazyflie platform to evaluate our algorithms because the hardware is robust and the user community has helped make firmware available on which we can base our own systems”

-Ellen Cappo, researcher at Carnegie Mellon University

“In our lab, we love to work with the Crazyflie ecosystem because its open-source platform allows us to write new flight controllers. We have used them to develop modular vehicles, blimps, catenary robots, and jumping robots.”

-David Saldaña, Assistant Professor at Lehigh University

“The Crazyflie is a great platform for research because of its openness and extensibility; additionally, the size allows us to test algorithms on a swarm of robots even in space-limited indoor environments.”

-Wolfgang Hoenig, researcher at TU Berlin

Usage Areas

Ideal for many areas of research

The platform is designed to be as flexible and versatile as possible to enable the user to explore any area of interest, for instance control algorithms, swarms, path finding, agriculture or failure recovery.
