Hello, I am Hyun-soo Ha, a researcher at QUAD Drone Lab. Today, I would like to introduce the Q250-V3 Autonomous Drone Platform, designed to save researchers’ valuable time and allow them to focus solely on their core research achievements. 1. Introduction: Key Challenges in Modern UAV Research and the Necessity of a Platform Today, Unmanned…
MAVLink Router is an application designed to distribute MAVLink messages across multiple endpoints (connections). It distributes packets to a single port or multiple endpoints based on the target address. Connections can be established via UART, UDP, or TCP. 1. Compilation and Installation To compile the application, the following packages are required: Getting Dependencies MAVLink Router…
MAVLink (Micro Air Vehicle Link) is an open-source, lightweight messaging protocol designed for efficient data communication between drones, robots, and other automated systems. It has established itself as the de facto standard for communication between Autopilots (such as Pixhawk) and Ground Control Stations (GCS).
Hello, this is QUAD Drone Laboratory.I’m Geunchan Lee, Senior Researcher at QUAD Drone Lab. Starting with this post, we’ll be introducing our 911 FALCON Project—a continuous-operation system designed to keep search and initial response connected in real disaster scenarios. In this series, we’ll share the build process step by step, including design decisions, prototyping, field…

Hello, this is QUAD Drone Laboratory. On January 22nd (Thursday) ~ 23nd (Friday), Quad Drone Laboratory visited Goheung, Jeollanam-do, the heart of Korea’s aerospace industry. We are excited to share the highlights from our seminar titled “Autonomous Flight of Pixhawk (PX4) Drones using AI: Theory and Practical Application,” held at the Goheung Drone Center within…
Introduction In the field of autonomous drone development, the integration of PX4, ROS 2, and Gazebo has become the industry standard. This setup allows developers to bridge the gap between high-level AI algorithms and low-level flight control. At QUAD Drone Lab, we’ve prepared this in-depth guide to help you master the communication bridge: Micro XRCE-DDS….
Keynote by Lorenz Meier The weather has grown quite cold as Christmas approaches. I hope all our subscribers are staying healthy and avoiding the flu. In today’s post, I want to recap the ‘2025 PX4 Developer Summit’ held in Atlanta, USA, from November 10-11. This content was previously featured on our YouTube channel’s series, “Pixhawk…
The Open Source Shortcut That Isn’t: 4 Hard-Won Truths for Developers In the fast-paced world of software development, the pressure to move fast is relentless. When you’re building on top of a powerful open-source project, the temptation is to take what seems like a shortcut: fork the code, stabilize it for your specific needs, and…
