Erle-Spider is the first legged drone powered by Snappy Ubuntu Core. A fully functional Linux computer that includes onboard sensors, exposes several I/O interfaces and can be controlled and programed over WiFi, Bluetooth and even 3G and 4G networks.
Besides the openness and Linux-based approach, Erle-Spider will provide access to a cloud-based app store for these legged drones. A marketplace that allow developers to make money out of their applications.
ROS, the Robot Operating System plays an important role in Erle-Spider and the team behind this new drone will provide early access to ROS 2.0 packages.
Erle-Spider has been released by Erle Robotics, a startup based in Spain that focuses on creating artificial brains for robots and drones.
