Page 1 / 2 CASE STUDY Michigan Autonomous Aerial Vehicle robots take flight with 3Dconnexion 3D mice 3D Mice: SpacePilot ® Pro, SpaceExplorer ® , SpaceNavigator ® Application: CATIA V5 When Danny Ellis was first introduced to CAD in high school with a course in Autodesk Inventor, little did he know he would someday be designing and flying aerial robots. As Ellis advanced into the engineering program at the University of Michigan, he was introduced to the powerful capabilities of CATIA, and it was there he also discovered 3Dconnexion 3D mice. “In between my freshman and sophomore years, I became irritated at how cumbersome it was to rotate a model using a traditional mouse in CATIA,” says Ellis. “I thought, I bet I could get a trackball mouse and program it so when I rotate t
