# Drone Landing Simulation (GPS-Denied)
A GPS-denied drone landing simulation with multiple backends. Land a drone on a moving platform using only relative sensors (IMU, altimeter, camera).
## Quick Start
### Standalone Mode (No ROS 2 - Any Platform)
```bash
source activate.sh
python standalone_simulation.py --pattern circular --speed 0.3
```
### Gazebo + ROS 2 (Linux/WSL2)
**Terminal 1:**
```bash
ros2 launch gazebo/launch/drone_landing.launch.py
```
**Terminal 2:**
```bash
source activate.sh
python run_gazebo.py --pattern circular
python camera_viewer.py # Optional: view camera feed
```
### ArduPilot SITL (Realistic Flight Controller)
**Terminal 1:**
```bash
source ~/ardu_ws/install/setup.bash
ros2 launch ardupilot_gz_bringup iris_runway.launch.py
```
**Terminal 2:**
```bash
mavproxy.py --console --map --master=:14550
```
## Installation
```bash
# Ubuntu/Debian (includes ROS 2 + Gazebo)
./setup/install_ubuntu.sh
# With ArduPilot SITL
./setup/install_ardupilot.sh
# Activate environment
source activate.sh
```
| Platform | Install Script |

| ArduPilot SITL | `./setup/install_ardupilot.sh` |
| Arch Linux | `./setup/install_arch.sh` |
| macOS | `./setup/install_macos.sh` |
| Windows | `.\setup\install_windows.ps1` |
## Files
| File | Description |

## Configuration
Edit `config.py` to customize:
- Drone/rover positions
- Controller gains (Kp, Kd)
- Camera settings
- Landing thresholds
## Command Line Options
```bash
# Movement patterns
--pattern, -p stationary, linear, circular, square, random
--speed, -s Speed in m/s (default: 0.5)
--amplitude, -a Amplitude in meters (default: 2.0)
```
