Next to an update of the aerial robotics landscape and events, we will have a presentation by Jacopo Panerati from the National Research Council (NRC) Canada to talk about the aerial autonomy stack that he has been developing as part of his work!
Title : “aerial-autonomy-stack—a faster-than-real-time, autopilot-agnostic ROS2 framework to simulate and deploy perception-based drones”
