What Is Operation Squirrel?

Operation Squirrel is an open, modular autonomous robotics platform designed for education and research. It combines real hardware, real software, and real engineering workflows to help learners understand how modern autonomous systems are built, tested, and deployed.

Unlike closed or toy-level systems, Operation Squirrel exposes the full autonomy stack — perception, control, communication, and data — so students and researchers can explore, modify, and extend every layer.

What Makes It Different?

• Real Systems, Not Simulations Only
  Learners work with real sensors, real compute, and real flight dynamics.
• Open and Extensible by Design
  Hardware and software are intentionally transparent and modifiable.
• Industry-Relevant Toolchains
  Linux, C++, GPU acceleration, perception pipelines, control loops, and data analysis — the same foundations used in professional robotics teams.
• Learning Through Iteration
  Emphasis on testing, logging, failure analysis, and improvement over “one-click demos.”

Who Is This For?

• High school and university robotics or AI programs
• Engineering, computer science, and mechatronics labs
• Advanced STEM clubs and independent research groups
• Students and educators seeking deeper, career-relevant technical experience

Current Status

Operation Squirrel is currently in active development and early pilot exploration. System design, curriculum structure, and deployment models are evolving based on real-world testing and feedback.
