Veloxity: Memory-Safe UAV Embedded Firmware Written in Rust

The authors present Veloxity, an open-source embedded UAV autopilot written entirely in the memory-safe Rust language, offering a minimal, modular foundation for autonomous drones. They compared it with equivalent C++ autopilots in simulation, on hardware testbenches, and in outdoor waypoint-tracking flight tests; the results showed functional parity with improved performance, indicating that memory-safe languages can be used for reliable, high-performance autonomous aerospace firmware.
