Crazyflie 2.1

Abstract

Autonomous navigation and control on Crazyflie 2.1 quadrotors, covering PID stabilization, precision landing, and leader–follower swarm coordination through consensus algorithms, with Lighthouse providing position.

Flown, not simulated

All of it was validated on real flight hardware rather than in simulation alone, which is where the gap between a controller that works and a controller that flies tends to show up.
