JETSON AUTOPILOT
PX4 Autopilot with Nvidia Jetson Boards
A high-performance autopilot that pairs real-time flight control with NVIDIA Jetson’s AI computing for intelligent autonomy.
Product Description
FMU Jetson Autopilot is a high-performance autopilot platform designed for systems that require advanced onboard computing alongside reliable real-time flight control. By pairing deterministic control with NVIDIA Jetson’s computing capabilities, it enables intelligent autonomous operation.
The platform is optimized for applications involving onboard perception, data processing, and decision-making, while maintaining a clear separation between safety-critical control and high-level computation. This makes FMU Jetson Autopilot well-suited for complex autonomous platforms and data-driven aerial systems.
