A Computational System for Trajectory Tracking and 3D Positioning of Multiple UAVs

Abstract

This paper presents a computational system to perform, simultaneously, the control of th 3D position and trajectory of two commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the Parrot AR.Drone quadcopter. The developed system runs in a main computer, allowing the automatic control of the vehicles in flight missions. In this work, are presented the experimental platform, the mathematical and the computational techniques used to achieve the experimental results. Finally, experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system.
