Pixhawk-based scalable platform for multi-purpose surface unmanned vehicle

Unmanned vehicle has entered a high-speed development stage with the rise of intelligent vehicle. The multi-purpose unmanned vehicle platform based on PX4-Autopilot firmware we proposed, which is running on Pixhawk controller. The vehicle can realize remote control and autonomous navigation. In the end, we conducted remote control experiments and mission autonomous navigation experiments to verify the feasibility of the scheme and the navigation error can be controlled below 3.5m. In real application field, it can apply in water quality detection, topographic mapping and surface garbage collection.
