Overview

Aerostack2 makes autonomous aerial robots easier to build and to use. Its components talk over ROS 2, so you can improve one part of a system without touching the rest. It doesn't depend on any one drone, which is what lets the same mission move from simulation to real flight. That path has been taken many times, in research and in industrial projects such as the inspection of wind turbines and solar plants.

Aerostack2 is open source under the BSD 3-Clause license, and anyone who wants to take part is welcome. CVAR, the Computer Vision and Aerial Robotics group of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, led by Pascual Campoy, started the project and supports it heavily, but Aerostack2 doesn't belong to the group alone. We want it to be a community where people share and build on each other's work. Use it, change it, and add your own components.
