Official PX4 Developer Kit
The ModalAI PX4 Autonomy Developer Kit is an all-in-one autonomy development drone with long-term support for PX4. PX4 developers looking to jump-start their autonomous UAV solution can reduce their time to market with ModalAI PX4 Autonomy Developer Kit’s pre-configured autonomy platform, sensors and payloads, and computer vision and artificial intelligence capabilities. Uniform baseline development platform that anyone in the PX4 community can reference and build upon.
ModalAI plans to offer this configuration through 2025. ModalAI is committed to advancing the PX4 ecosystem and plans to advance their PX4 1.14 support by working with the PX4 developer community to mainline a standard build, bolstering ROS 2 Foxy support, and maintaining a dedicated forum channel for direct communication between developers and ModalAI engineers.
