Managing System Architecture for Multi-Rotor Autonomous Flying Platform-Practical Aspects

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 242))

Abstract

Unmanned aerial systems have become recently a rapidly developing research area. The most popular platforms are undoubtedly multirotors with an ability to vertical take-off and land. These are often controlled by human pilots using some basic apparatus. In this paper the mechanical architecture, hardware components, and software structure of the ground control station have been described. These components create an interface between an operator and the flying machine allowing to perform an operation with a different level of complexity. Furthermore the main purpose of designing this device is to obtain a user friendly system that can be used by a medium experienced user with limited training time.
