fred [Can the Crazyflie be used to control a bigger quadcopter?]
@@ Line 32: / Line 32: @@
 Yes, it could. All the key components are there to control a quadcopter of any size. There is yet no firmware support for this though. However, imagine having it dockable into a big frame which could carry it a long way and then just release it so it can enter a small area where the big frame can't get to, Sci-Fi...
+==== Can the Crazyflie fly autonomously? ====
+Not yet, but there is ongoing development in this area:
+  * using onboard sensors (e.g. the barometer in the 10-DOF version) to achieve a "hover mode": http://forum.bitcraze.se/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=523
+  * using extra sensors (e.g. an ultra sonic sensor): http://cfusting.wordpress.com/2013/07/28/quadcopters-and-spatially-centric-data
+  * using external sensors (Camera, Kinect, etc.)
+    * First test with OpenCV: http://www.bitcraze.se/2013/01/crazyflie-opencv-tracking-test/
+    * Kinect: http://www.bitcraze.se/2013/08/autopilot-using-kinect-and-a-pc
+==== How can I build an autonomous swarm of Crazyflies? ====
+Before dealing with an autonomous swarm, maybe deal with one autonomous Crazyflie first. ;)
