ar-drone is a Node.js client library for controlling Parrot AR.Drone quadcopters over their network protocol. It provides a high-level API for common flight operations such as takeoff, landing, altitude changes, rotation, directional movement, and hovering. Programs can receive navigation telemetry including flight state, altitude, and other sensor data. Camera output can be accessed as raw video streams or converted into PNG frames through FFmpeg.

The AR Drone is a quadrotor helicopter sold by Parrot. Parrot sells the drone as a toy controlled via a wireless device such as Ipods, Ipads, or Android based devices. 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.
