Erle Robotics has unveiled the latest addition to its fleet of PiZero Smart robotic solutions. The Erle-Boat is a Linux-based smart aquatic vehicle that uses ROS (the Robot Operating System) and award-winning APM software autopilot to achieve different navigations modes.
APM Autopilot features include point-and-click programming and configuration for a quick and easy set-up. It also offers multiple command modes; including Acro, Stabilize, Loiter, Alt-hold, Return To Launchpoint, Land, Simple, Guided, Position, Circle, Follow Me, GeoFence, and Auto (which runs fully scripted missions using GPS waypoints).

This latest device builds on the success of the PiZero Drone and PiZero Rovers. All models incorporate the Erle’s revolutionary PXFmini autopilot shield for the Raspberry Pi family 0/1/2/3.
“Schools, Universities and the Maker community are driving demand for our PXFmini, with a wide range of end uses, including our range of PiZero Drone kits, and a host of projects to create smart robotics,” said Carlos Urage CEO of Erle Robotics.
