ENAC Team wins at IMAV2022

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 12:39:52 +0000

The International Conference and Competition on MAV was organized by TUDelft mid-September 2022. The ENAC took part to the outdoor competition, a package delivery challenge, with several multi-rotors and a hybrid tail-sitter, all powered by Paparazzi.

They won the competition with a quite large amount of points. Nevertheless, all teams performed well with some innovative platforms.

Several papers have been presented to the conference by the ENAC team and the other participants. The proceedings are freely available on the conference website.

3D Guiding for fixed-wing aircraft

Tue, 08 Dec 2020 20:32:10 +0000

Now, you can have your aircraft tracking a (smooth) 3D parametric trajectory. This is an extension of the existing GVF in Paparazzi, in fact, now we allow even 2D trajectories with self-intersections.

It is based on our accepted article in IEEE Transactions on Robotics Singularity-free Guiding Vector Field for Robot Navigation

All the instructions to use the algorithm are in the wiki.

Crazyflie v2.1 with Paparazzi onboard

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 20:44:58 +0000

The popular Open-Source platform Crazylie v2.1 from Bitcraze is now supported by Paparazzi. Only the main frame, with IMU, barometer as well as the NRF communication is working. A bridge between the Crazyradio and the Ivy bus allows the direct and easy connection of the Crazyflie to the ground station. More sensor decks will be supported in the future.

Thank you to the Bitcraze dev team for their support !
