In this paper, we propose a compact and lightweight robot with autonomous flight capability using only a single rotor, that is, with minimal degree of freedom, using microcomputers and sensors. A simple flying robot that improves the problem of drone, the flight sound and the complexity of the system is required. Not only the propeller and the motor but also two vertical body wings that prevent the body of the robot from rotating can make it possible to fly with only a single rotor. The proposed palmtop type prototype equipped with a microcomputer weighing 32[g] with a size of 200 × 23 × 93[mm] showed the possibility of flying with a single rotor.
