Sistema embarcado para teste de veículos aéreos não tripulados em ambientes controlados

Abstract

This work proposes the development of an embedded system compatible with any Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) remotely controlled by radio, which is able to perform the control of an UAV enabling an autonomous flight in a controlled environment, and monitor and store all flight data for later retrieval and analysis. This allows the identification of patterns of stability behavior of a vehicle, identify and quantify the instabilities occurred inthe flight. Measure the flight stability of a UAV by means of monitoring and analysis of its state informations. This informations for allows to verify if the vehicle presents compatible behavior or not with this stable behavior pattern. The proposed solution allows the replication of experiments in order to perform the characterization of UAVs. In the presented experiments, the vehicle was controlled using remote radio control channels and all flight data was stored. Disturbances were added to the vehicle during testings and the system was able to detect them. The obtained results in this work confirme that is possible to identify this behavior pattern, as well evaluate the occurrence of disturbances in flights that culminates in pattern leaks, and aid the discovery of the causes of accidents involving UAVs using the stored vehicle data.
