Read Ebook Advanced Robotic Vehicles Programming

Learn how to program robotic vehicles with ardupilot libraries and pixhawk autopilot, both of which are open source technologies with a global scope. This book is focused on quadcopters but the knowledge is easily extendable to three-dimensional vehicles such as drones, submarines, and rovers.Pixhawk and the ardupilot libraries have grown dramatically in popularity due to the fact that the hardware and software offer a real-time task scheduler, huge data processing capabilities, interconnectivity, low power consumption, and a global developer support.<br /><br />This book shows you how take your robotic programming skills to the next level. From hardware to software, <i>Advanced Robotic Vehicles Programming</i> links theory with practice in the development of unmanned vehicles. By the end of this book, you'll learn the pixhawk software and ardupilot libraries to develop your own autonomous vehicles.<br /><br /><b>What You'll Learn</b><br /><br />Model and implement elementary controls
