FlyingROS Build Status

Around the Internet of robotics, there is a lot of open-source/open-hardware projects to make an awesome flying robot : ROS, MAVLink, PX4, Mavros, Odroid XU4. Multiple companies uses thoses projects to make money without contributing to the community. That's why FlyingROS comes to life. To bring user an easy way to fly multicopters with all tools incorporated together.

Flying Robot Operating System is designed to be a great example of an application to make your own autonomous multicopter or robot, giving advice and the way to do it for all the technologies you would need to use.

The way the packages are organized are available in the Project architecture file.

Actual status

Experimental, do not use it yet unless you want to develop with us.

Hardware

  • PixHawk (200$)
  • Odroid XU4 (79$ naked)
  • WiFi antenna (connect to external hotspot) or Modem (create an AP)
  • The localisation system you want (see the flyingros_pose package)

Software

  • ROS
  • PX4
  • MAVLink
  • Mavros

Goals

Actual goals:

  • Indoor Navigation (Pozyx -Decawave-, Camera, Fixed lasers)
  • Outdoor Navigation (Camera, RTK-GPS)
  • Payloads (different PID configurations depending on the weigth of the multicopter, what it lifts)

Future goals:

  • Object tracking
  • SLAM
  • Simulation

In depth status

  • flyingros_libs/tasks.py : Tested
    • Can be used as python scenarios or using the task node (preferred)
    • Can use position setpoints and raw setpoints (not tested on 1.5, was not working on 1.3 Firmware but should be working by now).
    • TODO
      • Update tasks to avoid the use of sleep function
  • flyingros_nav/task_node : Tested
    • Able to manage tasks using Tasks.py library, from ROS and the web interface
    • Provide the current task
    • Can be paused (To be implemented in the web interface)
    • TODO
      • add a Try Catch to avoid wrong data from user (to be implemented in )
  • flyingros_nav/control_thread.py : Tested
    • "Manual" offboard control : (control)
  • flyingros_pose/six_lasers_algorithm
    • Working well
  • flyingros_web/www :
    • TODO
      • Allow to pause/unpause the task execution
      • Add a emergency button
