Flapper Nimble+ | Bioinspired flying development platform

Flapping wings with bioinspired control mechanisms for elegant insect-like flight
Unlike propellers, soft flapping wings are safe and tolerate minor collisions much better
Compatible with various positioning systems (Lighthouse, Optical Motion Capture, experimentally UWB) for precise computer controlled indoor flight
Add programmable RGB LEDs or other decorations, customize the body panels or the wing design
Compatible with open-source APIs and other software packages for swarm operations and drone shows
