# PX4 Drone Autopilot
## A PX4 Integrated Framework for Modeling and Controlling Multicopters with Tiltable Rotors

[![Releases](https://img.shields.io/github/release/PX4/PX4-Autopilot.svg)](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/releases) [![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/22634/PX4/PX4-Autopilot.svg)](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/22634/PX4/PX4-Autopilot)
__abstract__ This repo presents a general framework for multicopters equipped with tiltable rotors (tilting multicopters). Differently from classical flat multicopters, tilting multicopters can be fully actuated systems able to decouple position and attitude control. The proposed framework has been trans-parently integrated into the widely used PX4 control stack, an open-source controller for ground and aerial systems, to fully exploit its high-level interfaces and functionalities and, at the same time, simplify the creation of new devices with tilting propellers. Simulation tools have been also added to the PX4 simulation framework, based on its Software-In-The-Loop (SITL) system and a set of simulated experiments in a dynamic robotic simulator have been carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of this system.

## Article
The description of the firmware architecture, the integration with the standard PX4 control stack, as well as its integration with a PixHawk autopilot is described in the following article:

``Salvatore Marcellini, Jonathan Cacace, Vincenzo Lippiello, "A PX4 Integrated Framework for Modeling and Controlling Multicopters with Tiltable Rotors", submitted to the 2023 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft System (ICUAS ’23) June 6 – 9, 2023 Warsaw, Poland``

This repository holds the [PX4](http://px4.io) flight control solution for drones, with the main applications located in the [src/modules](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/tree/master/src/modules) directory. It also contains the PX4 Drone Middleware Platform, which provides drivers and middleware to run drones.
This work is currently under review

PX4 is highly portable, OS-independent and supports Linux, NuttX and MacOS out of the box.
## Get the firmware

## Building a PX4 based drone, rover, boat or robot

The [PX4 User Guide](https://docs.px4.io/master/en/) explains how to assemble [supported vehicles](https://docs.px4.io/master/en/airframes/airframe_reference.html) and fly drones with PX4.
See the [forum and chat](https://docs.px4.io/master/en/#support) if you need help!


## Changing code and contributing

This [Developer Guide](https://docs.px4.io/master/en/development/development.html) is for software developers who want to modify the flight stack and middleware (e.g. to add new flight modes), hardware integrators who want to support new flight controller boards and peripherals, and anyone who wants to get PX4 working on a new (unsupported) airframe/vehicle.

Developers should read the [Guide for Contributions](https://docs.px4.io/master/en/contribute/).
See the [forum and chat](https://dev.px4.io/master/en/#support) if you need help!


### Weekly Dev Call

The PX4 Dev Team syncs up on a [weekly dev call](https://dev.px4.io/master/en/contribute/#dev_call).

> **Note** The dev call is open to all interested developers (not just the core dev team). This is a great opportunity to meet the team and contribute to the ongoing development of the platform. It includes a QA session for newcomers. All regular calls are listed in the [Dronecode calendar](https://www.dronecode.org/calendar/).
