Hi,
I am a researcher in Ireland in UCC and I want to purchase the Starling 2 Mini Drones from ModalAI platform. I want to know details about the product for R&D.
I want to use it for indoor navigation and inventory management tasks in which I want to access the video and perform AI. I also want to do mission planning with it as well and before I do practical's I can see in documentation regarding PX4 support so Can I simulate all my practical scenarios in Gazebo simulation and where I can find its modal in software.
I really need help

@tom I need to perform the autonomous indoor mission? Can I do it with VOXL 2 if yes How I can do it?

I need to pick the drones Starling 2 which gives simulation and practical configuration. I need to have a simulator in which I can program the autonomous drone to do certain mission in indoor environments via ROS2 and I need drone to do exactly the practical tasks. Kindly guide me that VOXL 2 comes with any simulator or Configurator in which we can program it do autonomously missions.
I need complete documentation and support as well as I am going to buy hundreds of it in near future. Kindly guide me

I need help in buying the starling drones VOXL 2 which is 285 grams. I want to know about the specifications and functionality. I want to control it autonomously and manually with the computer in indoor environment.

I have written some specifications which I want in it Can you please guide me which specs it fulfills?
Kindly guide me on it

I want to select https://www.modalai.com/products/starling-2?variant=48173890208048
I want help in selection of the drones. I want autonomous and more capable drones with advance features.
Kindly help me in selection in terms of indoor autonomy.

@Eric-Katzfey Dear Moderator, I am a Drones Engnineer fimiliar with Python, C,C++, PX4 and QGC, Kindly tell me which hardware modems and radios are required in order to develop the SWARM Drones formation and Mesh Networking, I am new to Starling Platforms and Need help

Hi,
I want to get two starling VOXL 2 Drones for flying together ( for SWARM Formation), Kindly tell me which hardware additional I need like Modem for connecting it with Computer, Radios and accessories, I am new to VOXL and need support like how to control the two drones over wifi hardware. I will really appreciate the help and Bill of materials if you can help me

Hi,
I can see modal AI has modems for the connection of the drones with the GCS as in the following article

https://docs.modalai.com/dtc-user-guide/
Kindly let me know that If I want to form a SWARM Drone Formation How I can achieve this over Wifi like 2 drones controlling from GCS and exchanging the information ?Please guide me is there any hardware which support this ?

@Moderator Kindly let me know in WIFI mode How we can do that? What do yo mean by developing on our Own ? What we need to change in order to do this function ?

Hi Dear Modal AI,
I want to buy the 2 Voxl 2 Starling drones for Indoor SWARM Formation and later will buy more drones may be 10 or more. I want to ask from you that I want to create MESH Network among drones for formation and communication. Kindly help me which ad ons os necessary hardware I have to buy in order to create MESH network among the drones in Leader follower topology ? Kindly give me solutions and also let me know that is WIFI on board can we create MESH networks or Not ?Kindly guide me with all necessary hardware as I am new to starling Platforms
