Abstract

In this project of basic scientific research proposed to the development of a plate of navigation and control of worshipers engines for use in air and ground robots. In the navigation board seeks to use low-cost sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetrômetros, sensors, static pressure (altitude) and dynamic (speed of air), and a GPS for navigation and planning. It also proposes to conduct the fusion of sensors using the Kalman filter extended, thereby getting the INS inertial navigation system (the English Inertial Navigation System), and the system of reference of the attitude guidance AHRS (the English Attitude Heading Reference System)
