In the simplest terms, an autopilot is a software package that is responsible for taking in a bunch of data about a robot's position/rotation in space and ultimately outputting signals to its motors to move through that space. Most autopilots are not limited to quadrotors. They can support other air-based devices (such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and blimps) and even ground or water vehicles like rovers, boats, and submarines.
This is the autopilot that Verge Aero uses in both the and . It is an open source project that is built on top of the RTOS .
Another very popular autopilot option. Also open source.
