Split badges into two rows: release/DOI/Discord on top, and LF-ecosystem health signals (OpenSSF Best Practices, LFX Health Score, Contributors, Active Contributors) below. Removed the noisy "Build all targets" badge and switched the Discord badge from the pixelated widget PNG to the shields.io SVG endpoint so it renders crisply on HiDPI displays.

## About
|
|
|
|
PX4 is an open-source autopilot stack for drones and unmanned vehicles. It supports multirotors, fixed-wing, VTOL, rovers, and many more experimental platforms from racing quads to industrial survey aircraft. It runs on [NuttX](https://nuttx.apache.org/), Linux, and macOS. Licensed under [BSD 3-Clause](LICENSE).
|
|
|
|
## Why PX4
|
|
|
|
**Modular architecture.** PX4 is built around [uORB](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/middleware/uorb.html), a [DDS](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/middleware/uxrce_dds.html)-compatible publish/subscribe middleware. Modules are fully parallelized and thread safe. You can build custom configurations and trim what you don't need.
|
|
|
|
**Wide hardware support.** PX4 runs on a wide range of [autopilot boards](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/flight_controller/) and supports an extensive set of sensors, telemetry radios, and actuators through the [Pixhawk](https://pixhawk.org/) ecosystem.
|
|
|
|
**Developer friendly.** First-class support for [MAVLink](https://mavlink.io/) and [DDS / ROS 2](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/ros2/) integration. Comprehensive [SITL simulation](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/simulation/), hardware-in-the-loop testing, and [log analysis](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/log/flight_log_analysis.html) tools. An active developer community on [Discord](https://discord.gg/dronecode) and the [weekly dev call](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/contribute/).
|
|
|
|
**Vendor neutral governance.** PX4 is hosted under the [Dronecode Foundation](https://www.dronecode.org/), part of the Linux Foundation. Business-friendly BSD-3 license. No single vendor controls the roadmap.
