Microbee is a four-rotor model helicopter based on the Mikrokopter design. It's equipped with the latest electronics hardware and is capable of photography, vision guided autonomous navigation as well as normal radio-control flying by a human being. An advanced vision recognition system is currently being developed based on the high performance, low power OMAP3 platform.

All hardware & electronics bay be bought freely available in shops. The software is Open Source. Nothing is commercially-restricted.
