RAW HARDWARE & SOFTWARE INTEGRATION METRICS FOR GAPDRONE AERIAL EXTENSION.
0x01ROS 2 / MicroXRCE-DDS
Seamless integration into the GAP Platform is achieved via MicroXRCE-DDS bridging PX4 and ROS 2. This enables real-time telemetry streaming and synchronized mission control with ground-based GAPbots without relying on central broker nodes.
0x02LiDAR-SLAM (FAST-LIO2)
Utilizing the FAST-LIO2 algorithm, GAPdrone generates highly accurate, dense 3D point clouds in real-time. This spatial data is instantly shared with the GAP Platform to construct the 4D Digital Twin, allowing ground units to pre-plan optimal paths through unstructured terrain.
0x03P2P Mesh Networking
In environments lacking 5G/LTE (e.g., deep forestry, disaster zones), GAPdrone acts as an aerial repeater node. Using B.A.T.M.A.N.-adv and Husarnet, it establishes a decentralized, Post-Quantum encrypted mesh network, ensuring swarm communication remains uninterrupted.
