UA4001 - UAV Systems and Autonomy

Objectives

General objective:

In this module the architecture of the 3 segments of an Unmanned Aerial System is described: the ground segment, the board segment and the telecommunications.

Control, guidance and navigation systems are studied.
An analysis of the decision making in autonomous systems is proposed.

Some practical examples on Micro and Mini UAVs are tackled more deeply, based on the OpenSource Paparazzi UAS.
