Erle Robotics, a Spanish company that creates all sorts of Linux-powered robots, such as Erle-brain, an open hardware Linux kernel-based autopilot for drones, Erle-plane, a Linux-based plane, and Erle-rover, a Linux-based rover, has announced Erle-copter, the world’s first Ubuntu-powered drone, which can be used to capture amazing scenes (if you have a great camera).
Erle-copter’s flight time is of around 20 minutes with a 5000 mAh battery, and the drone is built to support a payload of up to 2 kg. Please note that the payload will influence the flight time. It is powered by the ROS framework and Snappy Ubuntu Core.
The drone uses either of the 2.4 or 5 GHz frequency bands to create its own Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing the user to connect to it with any device that supports that respective Wi-Fi specifications.
