Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver VS ardrone_gazebo

They have a section for developer about ROS UR ROS

This is the Ros driver for ur-e series robot. You can simply follow the readme to setup a simulation involving a rviz model and some.basic planning and associated visualisation.

That’s not windows. It uses ROS

Oh no, really? I'm following the directions of this GitHub page which includes features such as "Realtime-enabled communication structure to robustly cope with the 2ms cycle time of the e-Series. " and then says, "To make sure that robot control isn't affected by system latencies, it is highly recommended to use a real-time kernel with the system."

In the past, we (I'm one of the researchers/lecturers responsible for the course) used the AR.Drone. The students are a broad mix of computer science students. Some have a technical focus others are more business oriented. The existing Gazebo plugins for the AR.Drone are outdated or I couldn't make them work on Noetic. Using an old ROS Distribution and Python2 in 2022 was a big no-go! Moving to the PX4 wasn't an option due to the type of students. Therefore, I mixed and matched code, artifacts, ... from a few repositories, cleaned-up/rewrote some code... And, made the ardrone_gazebo package. It's nothing special. Big thank you to the TUM Computer Vision Group, tahsinkose and NovoG93! They did the real work.
