Can it fly without ever using the Crazyradio?

Hi,

I was reading your paper "A 64mW DNN-based Visual Navigation Engine for Autonomous Nano-Drones" + the readme file from this repo and I got the idea the system presented is fully autonomous.

So, I'm interested in the possibility of using a Crazyflie without ever connecting to it to my PC with the Crazyradio and I would like to know if in the experiments presented by your paper you had to use the Crazyradio or not (there's no mention to it).

Thanks!

Yes, as we wrote in the aforementioned paper, the system is fully autonomous. Therefore, there is no need to have Crazyradio connected to the drone to perform the experiment -- even though it might be useful for logging and emergency commands.

Thanks for the reply! Were you using the Flow deck during the experiments?

I am wondering the control structure of CF2.
What is running on CF2 for control, like ROS or PX4...
