function/library for the drone to follow waypoints using my own localization algorithm.

[charyyev]

I implemented localization algorithm that outputs the pose of the drone given an image. I want to demonstrate that my algorithm is accurate enough to use for navigation on airsim. I want the drone to follow waypoints using my own localization algorithm. I am not good at control and path planning, can you suggest me any library/function that I can use on airsim to follow waypoints while updating drone pose with my own algorithm?

Thanks in advance!

Hi charyyev, I think the moveOnPathAsync API would be a good place to start. Here's an example of how to use it

Hi Ahmed Elsaharti (@ahmed-elsaharti), I cannot input the result of my localization algorithm into moveOnPathAsync API. I want something like offboard mode of pixhawk controller. I provide pose of the drone and the path, and want the drone to follow it.

Hi charyyev! So, why don't you use px4?

Hi charyyev , I might have misunderstood, but isnt the output of your algorithm a set of x, y and z points that you want the simulated drone to follow?
