Synopsis

🚁 ROS2 and Drones Next-Generation Robotic Flight with Real-Time Communication

Unlocking Autonomous Flight with ROS2 for Drones and Real-Time Communication

The future of drone technology is autonomous, intelligent, and connected. ROS2 and Drones is your comprehensive guide to designing and deploying next-generation drone systems using ROS2, real-time communication, and advanced flight control.

Whether you're building drones for aerial surveying, delivery, or surveillance, this book teaches you how to implement autonomous flight systems that operate seamlessly with ROS2, enabling real-time communication, intelligent decision-making, and high-performance control.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Implement real-time communication between drones using ROS2 middleware

• Build autonomous drone control systems with ROS2’s flexible architecture and navigation stacks

• Design drone mission planners for safe and efficient pathfinding

• Integrate GPS, IMUs, and LiDAR for accurate localization and mapping

• Develop multi-drone systems for cooperative tasks and collaborative flight missions

• Simulate drone environments in Gazebo for real-time testing and validation

• Use ROS2 tools for debugging, monitoring, and optimizing drone performance in flight

From solo drone operations to swarm technologies, this book equips you with the skills to take advantage of ROS2’s powerful capabilities for creating cutting-edge flight systems and autonomous drone fleets.

🚁 Ideal for drone developers, roboticists, and autonomous systems engineers
