Installing and using PyTorch or ExecuTorch on a Starling 2 drone
-
Hello, has anyone tried to set up PyTorch on the Starling 2 drone?
I know there are TFLite models available, but I have a YOLOv8 model I've fine-tuned (using Ultralytics) and have converted it to a TFLite model, and it's been quite challenging to get it to work on the drone.
So, I was wondering if a better way is to somehow get PyTorch installed on the drone and use that instead for inferencing, instead of TFLite.
I know there's this new ExecuTorch thing available that enables inferencing using PyTorch models, so that I don't need to convert to TFLite:

- https://pytorch.org/executorch/stable/getting-started-setup.html
I'm more of a data scientist and not a software engineer, and certainly not well-versed with embedded systems, so was wondering if anyone has set up ExecuTorch on a Starling 2 drone.

@mario Hi Mario, both Yolov8 and Pytorch are on our roadmap to support. We do not have a good timeline yet though.
