What tinkerer have developed on Pluto X ?
Few of them already developed and many are developing on Pluto X.
MethaneX: Methane sensing drone
At just 14, Dhruv made the Methane X to ensure incidents like the Deonar dumping ground fires can be avoided by detection of inflammable gases. All this on the Pluto X aerial robotics kit.
Added Methane Sensor MQ2 on Primus X using X-breakout without solderUsed Cygnus IDE to write few lines of code to integrate it with Pluto XSchool projects recognised at Nehru Science Centre
The Pluto X Rover: A Tinkerer’s Story
We tried to make PlutoX as user friendly as possible – guess we succeeded! Siddharth found the technology convenient, affordable and accommodating. He designed a Rover with Pluto X kit for his Design School Project
Used reversible motor drivers on Pluto X flight controller to run motors of RoverInspite of not knowing much about coding, was able to program to run motor of RoverDrona Aviation is selling this as add on with Pluto X
X Ranging: Obstacle avoiding drone
You all must have played Tennis/Ping pong, what if you don’t have ball to play tennis. No worries you convert your Pluto X to play tennis. Tanmay and Shivani tinkered on Pluto X and added sensor VL53L0X on its X-basic to build this cool project.
Connected Vl53L0X sensors using X-breakoutBoth were good in programming so were able to code and tune the reading using CygnusDrona Aviation is selling X-ranging as one of the add on with Pluto X drone
LTA Airship: Made on Pluto X
With a flight time of 40 minutes, Sohan, research student at IITB Monash Research Academy created this airship from the PlutoX Aerial Robotics Kit. Of his 15 days of bringing it to life, only 3 hours he spent on coding–something he’s never achieved that quick with any other platform.
Used motor drivers available on Primus X to run throttle motor and rudder servo motorWrote just 10 lines of code to control the AirshipComplete his research paper

You Don’t Believe Us !!! Hear it from them…
Dr. Vijay Kumar, Nemirovsky Family Dean, Penn Engineering
” It is a great low cost platform for students entering the field of robotics. It lowers the barrier to entry and is small and safe. Look forward to using it in the the classroom.”
Dr. Rajkumar Pant, IIT Bombay
” It is going to play a major role in revolutionizing hands on Aerial Robotics by almost anyone! ”
Bill Jamshedji, DroneBot Workshop
” This drone (Pluto X) can actually be reconfigured to be anything else you want it to be ”
Dennis Baldwin, Tech Blogger & Youtuber
” This is really an exciting little drone, I’m also excited about some of the hardware capabilities”
