About ANT-X
ROG-X is a programmable multirotor platform combining PX4 flight control, ROS, NVIDIA Jetson compute and stereo vision for autonomy research. It can operate with motion-capture systems indoors or use onboard sensing for experiments in perception, planning and control.
ANT-X also supplies two-degree-of-freedom teaching rigs that reproduce attitude dynamics without free flight, helping laboratories develop and validate control algorithms safely. Custom aircraft, software, laboratory installation and training allow universities and industrial teams to build complete flight-robotics test environments.
