...The platform supports synchronized cameras, lidar, navigation sensors, trajectory recording, and joint air-ground scenarios. ROS 2 examples connect simulated vehicles and drones to external robotics workflows and RViz. Prebuilt packages for Linux and Windows reduce setup effort for researchers studying embodied intelligence and autonomous systems.

...The project integrates with ROS, Gazebo, MAVROS, mapping components, and the Gurobi optimizer. Simulation examples demonstrate navigation for UAVs and ground robots in cluttered spaces. FASTER was published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics and is primarily intended for robotics research rather than turnkey consumer navigation.

...MAVLink telemetry connects vehicles with ground stations and companion computers for configuration, monitoring, and mission control. Extensive logging, sensor integration, camera control, scripting, and hardware support make it suitable for hobby, research, and commercial robotics.

...Its modular C++ architecture allows individual autonomy components to be replaced or extended. The repository targets research rather than production aviation and reflects an older robotics stack centered on Ubuntu 18.04 and ROS Melodic.

GAAS (Generalized Autonomy Aviation System) is an open source software platform for autonomous drones and VTOLs. GAAS was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer-vision based drone intelligence. In the long term, GAAS aims to accelerate the coming of autonomous VTOLs. Being a BSD-licensed product, GAAS makes it easy for enterprises, researches, and drone enthusiasts to modify the code to suit specific use cases. Our long-term vision is to implement GAAS in autonomous passenger...

"Drone WayPointer" is a ROS package that provides a UI to allow for remote control of the Parrot AR Drone 2.0. It is developed in C++ with qt-ros and the Qt4 Development FrameWork. It is designed to work with the ROS - Fuerte and it uses the the ardrone_autonomy driver (Fuerte-devel Branch). It has so far only been tested on the tum_simulator and not on the actual drone. The main functionalities it provides is camera streams of front or bottom cameras of the drone, button and slider control...

...Parrot advertises the toy as an advance in gaming because the control devices will project a virtual reality allowing users to play with their physical drone with an enhanced version on their controller where bullets or hot air balloons must be avoided in the virtual world. KIPR, KISS Institute for Practical Robotics is an organization that facilitates the learning of robotics programming in middle and high school students to peak an interest in computer science. To do this they hold competitions around the world called botball where students program autonomous land robots to perform various sets of tasks. KIPR, now wants to expand and leave the ground by integrating flying robots (the AR Drone) into the tasks for added interest, fun, and challenge for students.
