The ROS wiki currently contains a growing list of ROS UAVs. These UAVs are as follows:
- AscTec Pelican and Hummingbird Quadrotors
- Berkeley's STARMAC
- Bitcraze Crazyflie
- DJI Matrice 100 Onboard SDK ROS support
- Erle-copter
- ETH sFly
- Lily Camera/Quadrotor
- Parrot AR.Drone
- Parrot Bebop
- Penn's AscTec Hummingbird Quadrotors
- PIXHAWK MAVs
- Skybotix CoaX Helicopter
View the list at http://wiki.ros.org/Robots#UAVs in the future for additions to this list and the website http://www.ros.org/news/robots/uavs/ to get the latest ROS UAV news.
The preceding list contains quadrotors except for the Skybotix Helicopter. A number of universities have adopted using the AscTec Hummingbird as their ROS UAV of choice. For this book, we present a simulator called Hector Quadrotor and two real quadrotors that use ROS: Crazyflie and Bebop.
