PX4 Autonomy and Obstacle Avoidance - VOXL

VOXL® Enables the Smallest Autonomous Drones

VOXL is a companion computer that pairs with Flight Core® or Pixhawk® flight controller for obstacle avoidance and GPS-denied (indoor) navigation. 

The VOXL advances the Snapdragon Flight and Qualcomm Flight Pro architectures to have great support for:

• PX4 Obstacle Avoidance and Autonomous Navigation
  
• ROS  / ROS2 / MAVROS / MAVSDK
• Open source Linux kernel, cross-compilers, PX4, ROS, OpenCV
• Docker build environment for CPU, GPU (OpenCL) and DSP (Hexagon SDK) heterogeneous computer vision and deep learning processing.
• Run Docker on VOXL target for improved portability and maintenance.
• Add cellular LTE connectivity for beyond visual line of sight (add-on).

Ready to Use Development Tools

Software Features:

• Open source Linux kernel, cross-compilers, PX4, ROS, OpenCV
• Docker build environment for CPU, GPU (OpenCL) and DSP (Hexagon SDK) heterogeneous computer vision and deep learning processing.
• Run Docker on VOXL target for improved portability and maintenance.
• Add cellular LTE connectivity for beyond visual line of sight (add-on)

Included in this kit:
