UWB Meets Crazyflow: Simulating Degraded Feedback at Scale for Aerial Robotics

In this work, we introduce Crazyflow, an accurate, differentiable simulator built on JAX.

Key points

  • By leveraging jit compilation via XLA, Crazyflow unifies physics and control into a single differentiable computation graph, enabling massive parallelization on accelerated hardware without sacrificing modeling accuracy.
  • This architecture achieves order-of-magnitude speedups over existing baselines, capable of training deployable reinforcement learning agents in seconds.
  • To highlight its highly modular design, we demonstrate how easily Crazyflow can be extended by integrating a complete, high-fidelity Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) simulation pipeline coupled with a full-state Extended Kalman Filter (EKF).
  • By combining speed, accuracy, and extensibility, Crazyflow serves as a foundational tool for the next generation of aerial robotics research.
