Four highlight functions

01 EGO-Swarmpath planning and obstacle avoidance

SU17 UAV has the ability to analyze dynamic obstacles in real time and flexibly circumvent it. It can also quickly track and adjust target points with a maximum speed of 2m/s. It shows excellent flexibility and adaptability in complex and unknown scenes, greatly improves mission efficiency and execution accuracy, and supports diverse mission requirements.

02 Quickly and accurately create a three-dimensional environment map

SU17 UAV has strong environmental perception capabilities. It can quickly collect surrounding environment data during flight and process it into a three-dimensional environmental map in real time, providing accurate spatial recognition and navigation support for various tasks.

03 quad-camera vision SLAM

BSA-SLAM is a set of visual inertial navigation VIO/SLAM system. This system uses four-camera and IMU as sensors, perceives the surrounding environment through four-channel images, and combines the acceleration and angular velocity data from the IMU to complete the autonomous localization function of the UAV, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the ground control station localization data.

04 Simulation function Demo, quick transplantation

Supporting simulation and teaching routines are provided to facilitate developers to optimize codes and parameters through continuous simulation testing and real machine testing to improve system stability and obstacle avoidance success rate.

Software features

Prometheus V2 software system

The development platform is based on ROS and Prometheus open-source framework, has rich functions, provides diverse custom development interfaces, and supports efficient development. Covers status data (localization, flight mode, battery, IMU, etc.) and control interfaces (position, speed, acceleration, attitude, etc.), with sample programs. Built-in flight safety check function (non-obstacle avoidance) supports abnormal automatic landing, reducing the risk of bombing and improving development safety.

ASDK package

ASDK (AMOVLAB Software Development Kit) is a software development kit launched by AMOVLAB for the SU17 series. It provides a standardized interface based on DDS for easy access to hardware such as multi-cameras, gimbals, and GPS, as well as software resources such as SLAM and path planning. Users can quickly interact by calling the API, and can design custom functions based on its extensions to simplify the development process.

Prometheus ground control station system

Prometheus ground control station is based on the Prometheus system and adopts a human-computer interaction interface developed by Qt. It supports UAV status monitoring, three-dimensional data visualization and one-click operations (hover, landing, position control, etc.). Provides DIY function buttons and supports custom scripts and message sending, significantly improving operational convenience, efficiency and scalability.

Hardware introduction

Hardware AIO integration

The SU17 whole machine platform is highly integrated, integrating flight controller, video/data link, ESC, power management and onboard computer and other modules into an integrated design, which greatly improves the stability of the whole machine.

Easy to expand

Provides 2 serial ports, 2 network ports (one network port has clock synchronization function PTP), 2 typeC interfaces, one USB2.0, and the other USB3.0. Extensible to support MID360 three-dimensional LiDAR, UWB and other sensors.

Hardware time synchronization

The four-camera synchronization accuracy on the SU17 UAV is within 30 microseconds, and provides system-level images and IMU calling SDK interfaces.

Quick release safety net

The structure of SU17 UAV is outstandingly lightweight and supports the design of quick-release safety protection nets to ensure sufficient product safety and personnel safety in scientific research use scenarios.

Application cases

indoor inspection
UAV applications for indoor inspection have always faced key challenges, especially issues such as localization accuracy, flight stability and spatial adaptability. These factors limit the effective application of traditional UAVs in complex indoor environments. SU17 UAV has successfully broken through these technical bottlenecks by being equipped with quad-camera VIO localization and LiDAR SLAM, combined with LiDAR obstacle avoidance technology. It effectively solves the mapping, localization, path planning and obstacle avoidance problems during indoor inspection flight, ensuring efficient flight and mission execution in a small space.
