Swift Pro Drone

Description

The Swift Pro Drone is a lightweight, 190-gram drone optimized for educational purposes, offering strong performance and flexibility for various applications. Powered by an STM32F4 Arm Cortex M4 flight controller and a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W as the onboard computer, it provides robust computational power with its quad-core processor and 512MB of RAM.

Key sensors include a 5 MP camera for imaging, an optical flow sensor paired with a Lidar range finder for accurate altitude and position control, and a GPS with a compass for location tracking. This sensor suite enhances the drone's ability to perform precise indoor navigation, making it ideal for environments where GPS signals may be limited.

The Swift Pro Drone supports multiple firmware options, including Ardupilot, Betaflight, and INAV, allowing customization for different flight styles and tasks. It can be controlled via ExpressLRS, ROS1, or ROS2, making it a versatile tool for autonomous operation and mission planning.

With a flight time of 11 minutes and brushless motors for efficient thrust, it is well-suited for tasks like path planning, image processing, and mission execution in indoor settings. Its primary applications involve indoor research, educational purposes, and practical experimentation with autonomous systems
