created by swiss mechanical engineer dario brescianini and ETH zurich professor raffaello d’Andrea, the omnicopter is a super agile omni-directional drone that can fly in any direction, at any time. the drone features a ‘computationally efficient trajectory generator,’ allowing the model to move with ‘six-degrees-of-freedom’.omnicopter omni-directional drone
