Set up ArduPilot (SITL) with Docker & Gazebo simulation

[elpiel]

Possibly blocked by #4

We currently support the PX4 autopilot (flight control software) https://px4.io however we would like to have a similar setup with another autopilot: ArduPilot https://ardupilot.org.

Goal

Allow the developers using this project to focus on hacking and controlling the drones themselves instead of setting up other tools, installing other software on their machines, etc.
The set up should be as simple as possible and have a running simulation ready for use.

Resources:

Check out the list provided in the README.md

Tasks:

• Explore how to use MAVSDK for ArduPilot Explore how to use MAVSDK server for ArduPilot #4
• Use the available ArduPilot SITL (Software in a loop)
  • Available Docker images of Ardupilot with SITL are in the resources list.
• Docker
  • Docker-compose - If it's not possible to use a single Dockerfile for setting up all tools
• Simulation - Set up gazebo and the required gazebo plugin
• Check (and setup) vehicle(s) that support Video stream from drone in the simulation
