German H.Buss and I.Busker in 2006, the dominated a four axis open source projects, from the flight control to electrically adjustable, and all other open source, launched a four axle vehicle most refer to the self driving instrument mikrokopter. In 2007, the four rotor equipped with Mikrokopter as a nail in the air is generally stuck in the air. Soon they added to the component and even made it a semi autonomous flight.

2012年2月，宾夕法尼亚大学的V.Kumar教授在TED大会上做出了四旋翼飞行器发展历史上里程碑式的演讲，展示了四旋翼的灵活性以及编队协作能力。这一场充满数学公式的演讲大受欢迎，它让世人看到了多旋翼的内在潜能。

February 2012, University of Pennsylvania professor V.Kumar at the TED Conference on the development of the four rotor aircraft milestones in the history of speech, showing the flexibility of the four rotor and the formation of collaborative capabilities. This is a speech full of mathematical formulas popular, it allows the world to see the inherent potential of multi rotor.

2012年，美国工程师协会的机器人和自动化杂志（Robotics & Automation Magazine,IEEE）出版空中机器人和四旋翼（Aerial Robotics and the Quadrotor）专刊，总结了阶段性成果，展示了当时最先进的技术。在这期间，之前不具备多旋翼控制功能的开源自驾仪增加了多旋翼这一功能，同时也有新的开源自驾仪不断加入，这极大地降低了初学者的门槛，为多旋翼产业发展装上了翅膀。

In 2012, the American Association of engineers of robotics and Automation Magazine (Robotics & Automation Magazine, IEEE) published Aerial Robot and four rotor (Aerial Robotics and the Quadrotor special, summarizes the achievements, the show was the most advanced technology. During this period, before does not have multi rotor control function of the source of autopilot for increasing the function of multi rotor, but also open a new autopilot continue to join, which greatly reduces the threshold for beginners, for multi rotor industry development loaded on the wings.
