Question regarding product application
-
We are a research lab at CMU and we are considering building autonomous solutions using modalAI drone. When looking at the product, we have some queries:
- we would like to use a drone with self onboard positioning capability, and want to be able to send commands from a remote desktop/cloud server for the drone to go to waypoints, which one is best for our purpose?The high resolution video should be streamed to the remote desktop as well.
- the stinger vision drone looks very good with its vision position system and onboard light illumination, but is it not open for development and autonomous command?

@Muqing-Cao Stinger runs the same VOXL SDK that is ran on starling and other platforms. Absolutely open for development and capable of autonomous command in the same way
@tom Thanks! Having looked briefly at the sdk instructions, it looks we are able to run ROS1/ROS2 on a host computer and control the drone using mavros setpoint, is that correct? Are the setpoint command available for both ROS1/ROS2? Can we get onboard VIO local position from ROS?

@Muqing-Cao You can get the VIO data from the ROS1 and ROS2 Topic /ov_overlay , /ov, or /qvio depending on which VIO you are using. Both have the same type interfaces available so either should work. Yes, you will be able to get run the commands on a host computer and as long as they are on the same ROS_DOMAIN_ID, for ROS2 this should be automatic.
