Voliro
Description
We, as part of the Autonomous Systems Lab of ETH Zurich, want to show that it is possible for a hexacopter to fly in any configuration.

Tilting Mechanism
After researching and testing many different tilting mechanisms we finally decided on a DC motor from Faulhaber, which contains three hall sensors for the angular position. Here you can see a video of our last test and the first prototype of the hexagonal rotor protector.
3D Simulation
Here you can see a short simulation of how we imagined our drone would take off and fly vertically on the wall.
It might not be the smoothest flyer, but everything takes time and practice.

Salem and Tymen will create the link between engineering and design. We want our drone not only to work, but also to be designed the best way possible.
