The AR.Drone 2.0 also features a 1 GHz 32-bit ARM Cortex A8 processor, along with an 800 MHz video DSP. The 720p video camera has a wide-angle lens that covers 92° and shoots video at 30 frames per second. As expected, the camera snaps JPEG photos, with video that can be stored via Wi-Fi directly to the remote control device in H264 format.
The drone offers a number of predefined autopilot modes, including traveling, panning, and crane. In addition to the three-axis gyroscope, version 2.0 is loaded with a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis magnetometer, ultrasonic sensors for ground altitude measurement and a 60 FPS vertical QVGA camera for measuring ground speed.
The AR.Drone 2.0 is constructed out of carbon fiber tubes, high-grade 30% fiber charged nylon parts, and foam to insulate components from crash damage. The device is fully repairable and uses a 1000 mAH LiPo battery that is rechargeable (note: version 2.0 is also compatible with the original AR.Drone battery pack.)
