Overview
A ready-built research drone for computer-vision work (obstacle avoidance, SLAM) on PX4, pre-wired with a companion computer and depth camera. It saves weeks of integration compared to a bare X500, but Holybro notes the bundled Ubuntu 18.04/ROS Melodic avoidance image is not compatible with current PX4 and is unmaintained.
