A typical Kerloud UAV set consists of several components as depicted above:

* **Kerloud autopilot and GPS**: the core unit for flight stabilization with PX4 open source hardware and software design, and it is configured with proper parameters in factory.

* **Onboard computer**: Either Raspberry Pi or Nvidia Jetson Nano can serve as the onboard computer responsible for mission management and high level tasks.

* **Onboard camera**: The platform can be equipped with CSI cameras or other advanced depth cameras like Intel Realsense series. The camera delivers the vision signal for mission tasks.

* **Wifi antenna**: The wifi antenna enables the access from a remote computer for user operation, and a wireless router is required to setup a local network.
