This is the video ‘Getting Started on the Crazyflie’ presentation that Bitcraze gave for 2023 ‘Aerial Robotics’ course as part of the Master in Master in Robotics Colloquium of EPFL. We were invited by Dario Floreano of the EPFL-LIS lab to introduce the students to the Crazyflie 2.1, the flow-deck and Multi ranger, and how to achieve autonomy. This lecture also introduces using simulation for the development process
