# Overview

![](/files/BNVwpaOg2JACmgTOPiQm)

The *PX4 Vision Autonomy Development Kit* is a robust and inexpensive kit for enabling computer vision development on autonomous vehicles.

{% hint style="info" %}
**PX4 Vision Dev Kit v1.5** ships with Pixhawk 6C Flight Controller
{% endhint %}

The kit contains a near-ready-to-fly carbon-fiber quadcopter equipped with a *Pixhawk 4* flight controller, a *UP Core* companion computer (4GB memory & 64GB eMMC), and a Occipital *Structure Core* depth camera sensor.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This vehicle comes with no pre-installed software. A pre-imaged USB stick that contains a reference implementation of the [PX4/PX4-Avoidance](https://docs.px4.io/main/en/computer_vision/obstacle_avoidance.html) local planner software is provided by *Auterion*. This software provides only a very basic example of what you can do with the PX4 Vision Autonomy Kit. Developers can use the kit to try out other features provided by the [PX4 Avoidance ](https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Avoidance)project, modify the existing code, or experiment with completely new computer vision-based functionality.
