Flying robots, a wonderful obsession
	Mon 25 Jan 1:30 p.m.–2:15 p.m.
	<https://lca2021.linux.org.au/schedule/presentation/59/>

	In this talk I will show the latest updates from the ArduPilot community where we take the obsession with flying robots very seriously. 
	From tiny 100g micro-drones to monsters weighing over a tonne, 
	ArduPilot continues to cover a huge range of aircraft types and uses.
