ArduPilot is a versatile open source Arduino-based platform for controlling autonomous multicopters, helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and ground vehicles. Last week at linux.conf.au, Andrew Tridgell presented a talk on progress in porting ArduPilot to Linux, where he explained that the ArduPilot port is just part of a wider movement towards small autonomous vehicles running on the Linux.

The video talk is available here:

    Well lets hope they don't port it to windows. At least this way we can forestall the air being full of drones peeping in everyone's window. /joke
