École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
The AirBurr is an autonomous flying robot developed by the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland. Designed for exploration in constrained, cluttered environments such as caves and collapsed buildings, the robot features a spring-based carbon-fiber cage for collision protection and an active self-recovery system with extendable legs that allow it to right itself after crashes and resume flight. The platform operates with minimal sensing requirements for difficult indoor and outdoor missions.
