Basics

  • "A Versatile, Trusted, Open Autopilot software for drones and other autonomous systems"
  • Can work with many kinds of ROVs/Autonomous vehicles/robots
  • Most useful feature seems to be it's "Waypoint" based paths which would be near perfect for farm field sweeps
  • Uses a slightly more complex liscense, but IS open source*

Programmed Logic in Missions

Yes, you can pass custom Python scripts into Mission Planner! [1]. Thus, this creates programmable logic that can be implemented on pre-planned missions. For example, you can define waypoints, and implement custom, complex paths in between based in feedback and any logic within a Python program.
