This area collects the Cognitive Autopilot / ASR-D501 integration guides. Start with the platform and demo architecture, then follow the camera inference guide for the obstacle-avoidance scenario.
Choose a guide
| Guide | What it covers |
|---|---|
| ASR-D501 Flight Integration | Hardware components, environment setup, and the camera, LiDAR, IMU, and system-monitor demo modules. |
| Obstacle Avoidance with Qualcomm AI Hub | Exporting a compatible model, preparing the USB camera, running live inference, and connecting to the flight controller. |
Suggested reading order
- Review the ASR-D501 platform guide to identify the hardware and software used in the demo.
- Follow the AI Hub guide for the camera-based perception portion of the obstacle-avoidance demonstration.
The companion computer and flight controller have different roles: the ASR-D501 runs the perception and application logic, while the flight controller handles low-level flight control. Some modules in the platform overview are marked Coming Soon; their detailed implementation guides are not yet available.
