a flyer with only two moving parts (a rotor and a stator) and a single actuator that is capable of hovering flight without active attitude control.
“Unlike quadrotors, which estimate the direction of gravity with accelerometers and gyroscopes hundreds of times per second then actuate its four motors, we designed Piccolissimo to use its dynamics and aerodynamics to keep gravity in a desired direction.”
