- Give your drone the gift of sight. Master the art of flying in the unknown. Are you ready to break free from GPS dependency and fly where satellites can't reach? PX4 and SLAM: Enhancing UAV Performance with Advanced Mapping Techniques is the definitive guide for developers and engineers who want to build drones capable of navigating complex, GPS-denied environments. While basic GPS flight is standard, the future of drone technology lies in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). This book bridges the gap between the robust flight control of PX4 and the advanced perception capabilities of modern robotics. Whether you are mapping underground mines, inspecting warehouse interiors, or navigating dense forests, this book provides the technical roadmap to integrate visual and LIDAR-based sensing with industry-standard flight controllers. In this hands-on technical guide, you will learn how to:Implement Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO): Configure Intel RealSense or OAK-D cameras to provide precise velocity and position data to the PX4 EKF, enabling rock-solid hovering without GPS.Master 3D Mapping: Utilize LIDAR and depth cameras to generate real-time OctoMaps and point clouds for detailed environmental reconstruction.Navigate with ROS 2: Leverage the power of the Robot Operating System (ROS 2) and the micro-XRCE-DDS bridge to communicate seamless high-bandwidth data between your companion computer and flight controller.Deploy Advanced Algorithms: Deep dives into configuring ORB-SLAM3, RTAB-Map, and LOAM specifically for aerial platforms.Optimize Path Planning: Learn how to use the map data you create to generate collision-free trajectories dynamically using occupancy grids.Hardware Integration: Step-by-step guides for connecting high-performance companion computers (like NVIDIA Jetson or Raspberry Pi) to Pixhawk hardware. Who is this book for? This text is written for robotics engineers, computer vision students, and advanced drone developers. If you are comfortable with basic PX4 configuration and want to push the boundaries of what your UAV can perceive and achieve, this is your manual. Map the world from above. Scroll up and secure your copy to start building the next generation of autonomous mapping drones!
