SkySim is a cross-platform drone simulator with real aerodynamics in C++20 that integrates with flight-controller firmware (ArduPilot, PX4, Betaflight). The physics engine runs in Godot 4 via GDExtension and compiles to WebAssembly for browser-based flight testing, supporting Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Upbeat Technology launched Bluemag Pi, an AI-enabled flight controller for drones and unmanned vessels built on SiFive's RISC-V processors. The board combines real-time flight control with onboard AI inference, addressing a gap in existing autopilot solutions that typically require separate companion computers for AI capabilities.
