Synopsis

🚁 UAV Autonomy with C++: High-Performance Drone Systems from Scratch

Build Robust and Autonomous Drone Systems with C++ for Next-Level Flight Control

Developing autonomous UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) requires more than just hardware—it demands high-performance, real-time software that can handle everything from flight control to environmental interaction. UAV Autonomy with C++ is your comprehensive guide to building autonomous drone systems from the ground up, using C++ for efficient, real-time processing.

In this book, you'll learn how to create high-performance, reliable drone software that powers autonomous navigation, sensor integration, and flight control, all optimized for real-time responsiveness and resource efficiency. Whether you’re building drones for research, surveillance, or delivery, this guide gives you the tools to create intelligent, scalable systems.

What you’ll learn inside:

• Master the fundamentals of C++ programming for real-time systems and high-performance computing

• Implement flight control algorithms (e.g., PID controllers, trajectory planning, path following)

• Build sensor fusion systems that integrate IMUs, GPS, and LiDAR for precise localization and mapping

• Develop autonomous navigation systems for obstacle avoidance and mission execution

• Integrate ROS2 with C++ for efficient communication and control across multi-agent drone systems

• Optimize drone software for real-time performance with low latency and high throughput

• Test and simulate drone behaviors using Gazebo for safe, realistic environments

• Customize drone flight behavior based on environmental data and dynamic input

Whether you’re building drones from scratch or programming low-level systems, this book equips you to develop autonomous, high-performance UAVs with C++ and ROS2, making your drone systems capable of operating autonomously, adapting to changing environments, and performing complex missions.
