b'In this episode we interview Jean-Christophe Zufferey who is a researcher at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at the EPFL in Switzerland. He presents his 10g microflyer capable of navigating autonomously in small indoor areas based on a system inspired by the fly. Miniaturization, light-weight components, energy autonomy, and autonomous navigation.. so many subjects which need to be addressed in this precambrian era of aerial robotics.'
