China Develops Open-Source Control That Solves Bamboo Drone Vibration Problem

China’s Northwestern Polytechnical University has released the world’s first open-source flight control software for bamboo-frame drones. The system cuts control delay from 20 milliseconds down to 8–10 milliseconds by tuning algorithms to handle bamboo’s natural vibrations. Free and modular, it lowers costs for eco-friendly UAVs in forest monitoring and education. The team says future work will improve weather resistance.
