ardrone package?

Hello all,

I recieved an AR.Drone for christmas, and I, being an autonomous robotics person, would love to use ROS to program the drone. I realize that its sensors are probably subpar, but I still want to use the stack I found here: http://www.ros.org/news/2010/10/ros-interface-for-the-parrot-ardrone.html

Unfortunately, when I tried to clone the repo with git, it appears to be an empty repository. Has this repository moved? If so, where can I find it? And, do you have any tips for a beginning ros C++ programmer for autonomous drones?

Thanks a ton, -Hunter Allen

It does appear that that package has disappeared. You should take a look at the ardrone_brown package from Brown.

They also appear to have a second stack with a controller, localization and planner for the drone.

I've tried a few of these, and the best, by far, has been ardrone_autonomy. It's based on the Brown node, but is still being supported:

Also, make sure you're using version 2.3.3 of the drone firmware if you go this route.

The ardrone_nav package from Brown is experimental right now. It does let you autonomously navigate to way points given a map of the environment. It may be posted under "distribution" soon.
