FlytOS is a framework for building high-level drone applications, such as, aerial delivery, precision agriculture, surveys, photography, industrial inspections, disaster management.
It is built on ROS (Robot Operating System) and Linux, making it an ideal platform for research and commercial drone applications. It interacts with the drone / autopilot (flight stack) and exposes high level FlytAPIs in ROS, C++, Python, RESTand Websocket. These rich set of APIs allow for easy development of onboard business logic, as well as remote monitoring and control through web and mobile apps.
Some of the key features of FlytOS are:
Built on ROS: easily plug-in any of the advanced ROS modules for vision, swarm, SLAM, etc.
Rich APIs for Navigation, vehicle-setup, calibration, etc.
Onboard APIs for ROS, C++, Python.
RESTful and Websocket APIs for Web/Mobile.
Support for Pixhawk (PX4 flight stack), with linux companion computer.
Trigger onboard apps from remote mobile/web UI.
Easy custom-data plumbing between onboard apps and remote web/mobile UI.
3D Software Simulator for testing apps, without access to drone hardware.
FlytSim, the 3D simulator for FlytOS, based on ROS-Gazebo is now available for download: http://flytbase.com/flytos/#flytsim
