No license is stated for part of this robot.

The creator chose the hardware and software licenses on Robotheca; the repository has no license file for them yet.

Some folders have their own license: fly_controller_software/Drivers/CMSIS/ (Apache-2.0).

This repository has no photo of the robot yet.

Commercial use is not confirmed for this robot, so no preview is stored. View the STEP files on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

What it can do

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Repository describes a micro swashplateless twin-rotor flying robot (aircraft)
Flight controller software for the aircraft is provided in fly_controller_software
Mechanical structure design is included for the aircraft

Bill of materials

This repository has no parts list Robotheca can read yet.

Build guide

The creator's guide is written in Chinese. It has no license, so all rights stay with the creator: Robotheca doesn't show it here or translate it, and gives its own notes about the robot instead.

Incomplete documentation

How complete the published files are for rebuilding this robot, measured by Robotheca at commit 57ba31f. It isn't a rating of the robot.

3D and CAD files10/20
72 CAD source files.
Add the parts to print (STL or 3MF files).
Robot description0/15
No URDF.
Add a URDF: the robot can then be seen in 3D and tried in the browser.
Parts list0/20
No parts list in the repository or linked.
Most points to gain: Link to your parts list, or add it to the repository (a CSV or a Markdown table) with quantities, prices and where to buy each part.
Software10/15
Code in this repository, instructions to install or run it.
Say which software framework it uses (ROS 2, LeRobot, Arduino…).
Documentation0/15
README of 126 characters with 0 pictures; 0 build steps.
Write a README of at least 1,500 characters: what the robot does and how to build it. Split the build into at least 3 steps. Show the robot and its assembly in pictures in the README.
Simulation0/5
No simulation files.
Add a simulation model (MuJoCo, Gazebo, Webots or Isaac).
Licenses0/10
Hardware: no license; software: no license.
Add a license for the hardware (e.g. CERN-OHL-S-2.0 or CC-BY-SA-4.0). Add a license for the software (e.g. MIT or Apache-2.0).

Software

Framework: Not stated
Languages: C, Assembly

The code

How to run it

Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.

Hardware schematics and PCB are in fly_controller_hardware and can be opened in Altium
Flight control algorithm source code is in fly_controller_software; the documents do not describe how to build or flash it

Robotheca doesn't review code. Read it before running it.
