ArduPilot/ardupilot
ArduPlane, ArduCopter, ArduRover, ArduSub source
What it solves
ArduPilot provides a reliable, full-featured open-source autopilot system to control a wide variety of vehicle systems, eliminating the need for separate proprietary software for different types of unmanned vehicles.
How it works
It functions as a comprehensive flight control stack that can be adapted to various vehicle configurations. The project is divided into specific implementations for different vehicle types, including ArduCopter for multi-rotors, ArduPlane for fixed-wing aircraft, Rover for ground vehicles, and ArduSub for submarines.
Who it’s for
It is designed for professional engineers, computer scientists, and hobbyists who build and operate unmanned vehicles across air, land, and sea.
Highlights
