drones

This repository contains all the code relevant to the drone exercises in the JdeRobot Robotics Academy. The code is organized in five packages and one metapackage. These packages are:

• jderobot_drones: Metapackage, contains all the drone packages.
• drone_wrapper: Wrapper of the drone that extends its functionalities.
• rqt_drone_teleop: RQT GUI to teleoperate drones.
• rqt_ground_robot_teleop: RQT GUI to teleoperate ground robots.
• drone_assets: Assets needed in Academy exercises.
• tello_driver: Driver to control Tello drones with mavros and drone_wrapper. Not included in metapackage.

Usage

ROS Noetic

The packages provided here depend on the PX4 Firmware and SITL. Packages can be installed through:

sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-jderobot-drones

Notice that the previous command is equal to install each package separately:

sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-drone-wrapper ros-noetic-rqt-drone-teleop ros-noetic-rqt-ground-robot-teleop

If you just need one of the packages instead of all, you can install it separately.

ROS Melodic

The melodic development has reached its End Of Life (EOL) but can still be installed using the command:

sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-jderobot-drones

Notice that the previous command is equal to install each package separately:

sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-drone-wrapper ros-melodic-rqt-drone-teleop ros-melodic-rqt-ground-robot-teleop

If you just need one of the packages instead of all, you can install it separately.

ROS Kinetic

The kinetic development has reached its End Of Life (EOL) but can still be installed using the command:

sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-drone-wrapper ros-kinetic-rqt-drone-teleop
