👋See you there!

We’re seeing double! We got two PX4 Autopilot Autonomy Developer kits #poweredbyVOXL running simultaneous figure 8s at booth 4719 at XPONENTIAL 2024!

We’ve taken off at XPONENTIAL 2024! The PX4 Autopilot autonomy development drone is looking great doing those figure 8s! #px4 #PoweredbyVOXL

Going to XPONENTIAL 2024? We can't wait to see you at THE Open Source Meetup on Wednesday, April 24, at Bub's @ The Ballpark b/w 7:30 - 10:30. First rounds have graciously been provided by Alex Klimaj 🍻forms.gle/RpnmL8ajQ8jxBB…

🚨 We need your help!🚨

We're gearing up for the ROS 2 Jazzy Jalisco release on May 23rd and we need the #ROS community to put Jazzy through its paces!

Join our Testing and Tutorial Party on May 1st, 2024! Help us find those pesky bugs and earn ROS swag.

Today our guest is spatial computing developer Bart Trzynadlowski. Bart returns to the show to tell us about some recent, exciting, work: Owl, a wearable AI device that runs locally to keep your data private, and better yet it's open source, and only about the size of an AirTag.

Presenting the first DroneBlocks DEXI airframe using the ARK Pi6X Flow! Designed in collaboration with Momentum Drones, what you see here is the entire vehicle minus the bottom plate. The ARK Pi6X Flow combines an ARKV6X Flight Controller, ARK Flow, Raspberry Pi CM4, Power…

💬 'Participating in open standards committees and PX4 firmware development has enabled us to grow and support drone manufacturers in the USA and around the world.' says Alex Klimaj of ARK Electronics. 🚀See how the open source community can help you too. hubs.la/Q02rBMtJ0

ARK Pi6X Flow prototypes arrived today! Combining the ARKV6X Flight Controller, a Raspberry Pi CM4, ARK Flow, Power Module, and 4 in 1 ESC Mount into one compact board!

In collaboration with DroneBlocks, their DEXI Drone will be a game changer for education.…

✨If you are going to share the airspace with commercial aircraft, UAS Traffic Management (UTM) should be top of mind. Govind Singh demonstrates a path to integration for open source UTMs and QGC in this video of his talk at the #PX4DevSummit hubs.la/Q02pQYJ10
