  bibo_abstract:
  - We present an interactive system for computational design, optimization, and fabrication
    of multicopters. Our computational approach allows non-experts to design, explore,
    and evaluate a wide range of different multicopters. We provide users with an
    intuitive interface for assembling a multicopter from a collection of components
    (e.g., propellers, motors, and carbon fiber rods). Our algorithm interactively
    optimizes shape and controller parameters of the current design to ensure its
    proper operation. In addition, we allow incorporating a variety of other metrics
    (such as payload, battery usage, size, and cost) into the design process and exploring
    tradeoffs between them. We show the efficacy of our method and system by designing,
    optimizing, fabricating, and operating multicopters with complex geometries and
    propeller configurations. We also demonstrate the ability of our optimization
    algorithm to improve the multicopter performance under different metrics.@eng
