The Cube, the backbone of the UxV industry, was designed over 10 years ago. Flexible interface standards allow the latest Cube models to be used on the first Cube or Pixhawk2 drones. Hundreds of thousands of units have been sold and used to save lives, deliver critical medicines, provide transplant organs, and screen hazardous environments to protect people from harm.
CubePilot products are supported in MATLAB.® Via the UAV Toolbox support package for the PX4 autopilot, which provides connectivity to the Cube autopilot and the option to automatically build and deploy flight control algorithms using Embedded Coder.®. Simulink® For users who want to simulate or deploy flight controller models. This package provides a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulation environment that allows users to perform HIL simulations of UAV dynamics and sensors. It also provides a co-simulation framework for UAVs that allows users to perform scenario visualization in Unreal Engine using Simulink.® 3D Animation™. For more information about using the PX4 Autopilot Support Package and deploying it to Cube, see the MathWorks® website.
Cube autopilots, along with CubePilot peripherals, are widely used in UxVs running open source software worldwide. MathWorks has also joined the industry with UAV Toolbox. Combining CubePilot’s open source software and hardware framework with the power of MATLAB will benefit autonomous UxV developers and those seeking realistic physics for model-based design.
