Показать описание

Erle-Spider is the first legged drone powered by Snappy Ubuntu Core. A fully functional Linux computer that includes onboard sensors, exposes several I/O interfaces and can be controlled and programed over WiFi, Bluetooth and even 3G and 4G networks.

Besides the openness and Linux-based approach, Erle-Spider will provide access to a cloud-based app store for these legged drones. A marketplace that allow developers to make money out of their applications.

ROS, the Robot Operating System plays an important role in Erle-Spider and the team behind this new drone will provide early access to ROS 2.0 packages.

Erle-Spider has been released by Erle Robotics, a startup based in Spain that focuses on creating artificial brains for robots and drones.

jesus, can you guys please get rid of the iphone atmosphere, porno music in the background and people talking as if it's the next best thing since the second world war. i've always seen open source being innovative and leading, hence i've been using linux for 15 years, but now i start to doubt the market leading approach.
