    Byaiden 2026년 03월 19일2026년 03월 22일

    Hello! I’m Aiden from the Marketing Team. In our previous series, we’ve covered receiving drone sensor data (Telemetry), performing basic Actions (takeoff/landing), and autonomous flight following multiple waypoints (Mission). However, to conduct advanced robotics research—such as camera-based (Vision) obstacle avoidance, AI target tracking, or multi-vehicle Swarm flight—simply following a pre-defined path is not enough. The…

    Hello! This is Aiden from the Marketing Team. In our previous post (Part 6), we mastered the basic control loop—arming the drone using the Action API, taking off into the sky, and landing safely back on the ground. However, a robot that only moves up and down in one spot can hardly be called a…
