PX4 is part of the Dronecode Project, a shared and collaborative open source project to deliver a complete end-to-end platform for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The platform includes: PX4, MAVLink, and QGroundControl. The code is made available under permissive IP-friendly licences that allow wide reuse without legal risk to companies or academia.
A number of other projects work with the platform including: DroneKit, ROS, FastRTPS, AirSim, Gazebo, and RViz to name a few.
PX4 is supported by the Dronecode members, who are some of the most influential organisations in academia, and industry.
Platinum members are listed below (click to see all members).
Many of PX4’s world-class academic and industry partners have become Dronecode members. We’re working with the others to help them join.
Our team consists of rock star developers from academia and industry, with expertise in technologies including computer vision, robotics, estimation and control and navigation. With drones becoming increasingly complex, well trained and experienced developers are key to manage complexity.
In addition to work by our regular staff, we also see regular contributions from the global dev team of 135+ people.
