aerostack2/aerostack2

Aerostack2 is a ROS 2 framework developed to create autonomous multi-aerial-robots systems in an easy and powerful way.

What it solves

Aerostack2 provides a standardized framework for building autonomous multi-aerial-robot systems. It removes the complexity of creating swarm intelligence and managing multiple drones, while ensuring that software can be easily moved from simulation to real-world hardware (Sim2Real).

How it works

Built natively on ROS 2, the framework uses a modular architecture. This allows developers to swap out specific components or packages without disrupting the rest of the system. It is designed to be platform-independent, meaning it can support various aerial platforms and allows users to install only the specific packages required for their particular project.

Who it’s for

It is designed for researchers and developers working on autonomous aerial robotics, swarm robotics, and multi-robot coordination.

Highlights

  • ROS 2 Native: Developed specifically for the ROS 2 ecosystem.
  • Modular Design: Components can be interchanged without affecting the overall system.
  • Sim2Real Capability: Designed for easy deployment from simulation to physical drones.
  • Swarm-Oriented: Specifically optimized for managing multiple aerial robots.
