The Stanford/Berkeley Testbed of Autonomous Rotorcraft for Multi-Agent Control (STARMAC) is a multi vehicle testbed used to demonstrate new concepts in multi-agent control on a real-world platform. For more information: http://hybrid.eecs.berkeley.edu/starmac

Overview

starmac-ros-pkg hosts ROS stacks used for flying quadrotors. This software aims to provide much of the common functionality required for experimentation on small quadrotor UAV platforms. At present one vehicle, the Ascending Technologies Pelican, is supported. However the design aims to be vehicle-agnostic and easily adapted to another vehicle with similar capabilities (such as our lab's own STARMAC II design).

You can browse the code and bug reports from the bitbucket project page.
