Drones will become a central part of our lives. Drones are delivering packages, surveying cell phone towers, providing wi-fi, or fertilizing crops. Drones are assisting humans in dangerous work, and serving as an entirely new computing platform, providing services that were previously nonexistent.

Airware is a company that is building a full-stack drone platform. In this episode, Buddy Michini takes us through the software architecture of a drone. Airware’s drones have two operating systems–one for the real-time flight critical aspects and one for application developers who want to build their own software for drones.
