Hello,

I want to buy a UAV to play with computer vision applications, and I would like to have a robot that works with ROS more or less out of the box. For instance, I want to know the available nodes allow me easily to read the camera an move the robor without major tweaking?

Thanks,

Juan

The ARDrone works out of the box with ROS using the ardrone_autonomy driver. I've been using it for some and haven't had any issues.

The node listens to standard Twist message (/cmd_vel) and it publishes camera information using the ROS standard camera interface.
