Overview

The most laptop-friendly mid-size camera drone of its era. Parrot's official Python SDK (Olympe) and Gazebo-based Sphinx simulator let the same script run in sim and in the air. No obstacle avoidance. Parrot pulled out of consumer drones and focused on ANAFI USA/Ai for government and enterprise.
