Description
The Flapper Nimble+ is the world's first commercially available tailless flapping wing robot. It serves as a development platform for universities, research labs, drone show operators and other users who want to explore the emerging field of bio-inspired aerial robotics.
Unlike quadcopters, the Nimble+, with a wingspan of 49 cm, is safe and tolerates even small collisions. Its soft wings not only bounce off objects, but also produce a less intrusive, low-frequency noise. The insect-inspired wing mechanisms and active stabilization algorithms ensure stable, yet very responsive and agile flight. The Nimble+ can hover, take off and land vertically, rotate on its vertical axis, and fly forward or sideways at speeds from 0 to well over 5 m/s.
The Nimble+ is powered by the Crazyflie Bolt 1.1, giving it the same benefits as the Crazyflie quadcopters, including a low-latency/long-range radio module, Android/iOS apps, and interfaces for additional sensors. Best of all, it's compatible with the Crazyflie open source software ecosystem and many of the sensor extension decks.
With a minimum take-off weight of 102 grams, the standard battery offers a flight time of up to 8 minutes. Even with the maximum recommended payload of 25 grams (sensors, decorations, etc.), the battery lasts for over 5 minutes. The Nimble+ is delivered in a practical flight case (46 x 33 x 15 cm) and is ready for use in no time.
Typical applications range from academic research (flight dynamics, flight control, swarm formation) and education (animal flight, bio-inspired robotics) to entertainment (drone shows, etc.).
The Nimble+ (Base Kit) contains only the essential components needed to fly and is the ideal option if you are building a flock or already have a compatible transmitter or Crazyradio. Manual flying is possible at any time using the Crazyflie Client App for Android/iOS.
