EXTENSIONS

The open extension registry

Free, open-source extensions that add capability to the ADOS platform. An extension can ship an agent plugin that runs on the vehicle, a sandboxed panel inside Mission Control, or both from one signed archive. Install from Mission Control on the drone you choose.

WHAT ARE EXTENSIONS

Add capability without a fork

An extension is a free, open-source add-on for the ADOS platform. Install one and a drone gains a payload driver, a sensor, an autonomous behavior, or a new panel in Mission Control, all without touching the core. To see how an extension is built, signed, and sandboxed, read the extension system.
