An open-source course and reference design from ZJU FAST Lab for building a 250mm autonomous quadcopter drone, including hardware assembly guides, flight controller firmware, and onboard software setup. It bundles the Ego-Planner trajectory planner and VINS visual-inertial navigation stack so the drone can autonomously avoid obstacles in unknown environments.

Use cases

• build an autonomous obstacle-avoiding drone from scratch
• learn drone hardware assembly and flight controller setup
• deploy Ego-Planner on a real quadcopter
• calibrate VINS visual-inertial odometry on a drone
• follow a free tutorial course on autonomous aerial robots
• set up Ubuntu and onboard computer software for a drone

When to choose

• you want a complete end-to-end guide to building a small autonomous drone
• you need proven open-source planning and VIO software for a 250mm quadcopter
• you are a student or hobbyist learning aerial robotics hands-on

When to avoid

• you need a commercial-grade or production-ready drone platform
• you want a simulator-only project without hardware work
• you require a permissively licensed codebase, since commercial use is prohibited
