As an alternative to cumbersome aerial vehicles with considerable maintenance requirements and flight envelope restrictions, the X4 flyer is chosen as the basis for the Stanford testbed of autonomous rotorcraft for multi-agent control (STARMAC). This paper outlines the design and development of a miniature autonomous waypoint tracker flight control system, and the creation of a multi-vehicle platform for experimentation and validation of multi-agent control algorithms. This testbed development paves the way for real-world implementation of recent work in the fields of autonomous collision and obstacle avoidance, task assignment formation flight, using both centralized and decentralized techniques.
