# TinyLink |
|
|
|
|
|
## 📌 Summary |
|
|
TinyLink is a **lightweight** language model fine-tuned to translate natural language instructions into commands for controlling drones and robots via MAVLink. |
|
|
It is designed for edge robotics. Unlike solutions relying on cloud APIs, TinyLink runs **fully offline** on your local machine. |

|
|
- Runs on everyday hardware; no GPU or excessive RAM needed. |
|
|
- Tested with ArduPilot SITL. |
|
|
- Achieves **0.9–2.2s** inference times on CPU, depending on hardware. |

|
|
1. Arm |
|
|
2. Disarm |
|
|
3. Takeoff |
|
|
