Diseño e implementación de un sistema de planificación de rutas y navegación para un vehículo autónomo no tripulado usando software libre.

Abstract

The use of drones for intelligence goes back at least to the mid-twentieth century, although it has been in this decade that have become known worldwide for their civil, military and entertainment applications. For this reason there is a need to interact with these devices, but interact in what way? In a more objective way. Currently these drones are used by applications that have a cost and only perform specific tasks; They are controlled manually, therefore is a need to find technological tools that facilitate planning specific routes without requiring the intervention of a guide, considering this goal has developed the following thesis "Design and implementation of a navigation system and route planning for unmanned vehicle independent using free software." The implementation has performed using the Linux operating system (Ubuntu 12.4) to handle the paparazzi software which can configure the necessary management components that were used in the implementation tools. The application communicates to the drone via a Wi-Fi with a range of about 40 meters, and loads the flight plan precompiled and configured to be made.
