Abstract

The project deals with the participation of a scientific initiation (IC) fellow in the PORVR-5G project, consisting of tasks to configure a drone and a terrestrial robot to carry out a mobile target tracking mission. The objective is to use the URLLC communication model proposed in the PORVIR-5G architecture, as well as the ROS (Robot Operating System) system to configure the agents and execute the mission. With this, it will be possible to test the communication model in a task that demands low latency, cloud computing and high bandwidth, since it will make use of images to control a drone in real time and make it follow a moving target, coupled to a terrestrial robot.
