I'm leading a project to develop a completely open source system, which runs on ROS, for deploying artificial intelligence and computer vision on a drone. We are trying to make the system as general purpose as possible. We are getting started with a

It is built on ROS (Robot Operating System) and Linux, making it an i
Hey Everyone,
I am working in a research lab that has a full motion-capture system. I was curious if anyone knew a way to send the vehicles GPS location over mavlink through roscopter. I have roscopter working, but instead of using an offboard compute

I am pleased to announce a Linux autopilot to comes powered by ROS. As shared in the main thread, Erle-brain is sold at 269 € and puts together a BeagleBone Black (rev. C) and the PixHawk Fire Cape in a single package that weights about 7

I would like to announce a new python script to Generate ROS messages/topics/node/package from a mavlink message definition file.
This python packages enable us to control a Robot /UAV using Mavlink protocol from a ROS environment.
Please give i

I started with the roscopter to connect my pixhawk to ROS.
I use the rosbuild version: https://code.google.com/p/roscopter/
Everything is working fine with making my own Pixhawk firmware and roscopter communication, but now I am trying to a

I am trying to use mavlink_ros to communicate with APM 2.6 . I can successfully install mavlink_ros using rosmake following the instructions on github and run the mavlink_ros_serial. I am trying publish messages to "/mavlink/to" topic in my cpp pr
Read more…Hi,
I am looking at a possible implementation of an autonomous quadcopter using an onboard Beagleboard xm(with ROS). THe MAVlink can be used as the primary protocol here via a USB connection b/w the beagle and APM2.6.
I do understand that, this renders
Read more…Hi all, I'm working on sending GPS data to my APM using a SLAM algorithm and am stuck. I soldered between pins 2 and 3 on the GPS and have it hooked up to the 4-pin UART1 (not the DF13 plug). So far I am just sending these static messages at 38400
