EdgeLink — Demo video

An ISR drone command system controlled entirely through natural language via Claude Code and a custom MCP server. A single operator can arm, take off, reposition, and assign patrol/orbit behaviors to a live ArduCopter SITL drone in Gazebo — no manual controls. The MCP server exposes drone tasking tools (goto coordinates, assign to named location, search patterns, swarm status) that Claude calls directly. A FastAPI world-state layer ingests telemetry and VLM detections and serves them back to the LLM for situational awareness.
