Different drone hardware model that is closer to the one used for deployment #18

Open hc825b opened 5 years ago

hc825b commented 5 years ago

Currently, we use the hector_quadrotor for drone models, and hence the hardware as well as the hardware controllers are totally different from the drones for deployment.

We may consider switching to ArduPilot SITL which also support communicating thru MAVLink and MAVROS.

The DroneKit-SITL is also used by ROSBuzz project.
