## What it is
Prometheus is an open-source autonomous drone software system platform built on PX4 flight controller firmware and ROS. It provides onboard computer software integrating control, planning, and object detection modules, with simulation components and demos for drone research and development.

## Use cases
- develop autonomous drone flight control software
- simulate UAV missions in Gazebo with PX4
- implement drone path planning and navigation
- run object detection on a drone onboard computer
- experiment with SLAM for drones
- prototype drone swarm control
- learn ROS-based robotics development

## When to choose
- you are building autonomous drone applications on PX4 and ROS
- you need an integrated control, planning, and vision stack for UAVs
- you want simulation tooling for drone research or education

## When to avoid
- you need a commercial-use license - the project restricts commercial usage
- you work outside the ROS/PX4 ecosystem
- you need production flight software certified for safety-critical operations

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: simulation, computer-vision, robotics, middleware
- domain: robotics, autonomous-vehicles, simulation, computer-vision
- platform: cpp, python
- tags: drones, uav, px4, ros, gazebo, slam, mavros, flight-control, motion-planning, swarm, control, linux
