| Abstract | |
UNMANNED Aerial Vehicles applications have grown substantially in recent years, both in military and civil fields. Roadmaps predict that in the near future these aircrafts will share the airspace with the conventional planes, requiring new architectures for embedded systems which may ensure a coordinated and safe operation. Most of its tasks are mainly based on a set of sensors carried by the aircraft as part of its payload. However, it is not trivial to integrate different missions in different aircraft plataforms, since there is no standardization for communication in such robots yet. To enable this type of association it was proposed in this masters project the designing of a middleware. It has been carried out a bibliographic review to find out the state-of-the-art in such field, including the specific applications in UAVs, and then a protocol has been modeled following formal techniques. This protocol is called Smart Sensor Protocol (SSP). The SSPs behavior was modeled through state diagrams according to a grammar described using BNF form. This model was verified with the UPPAAL tool and its implementation was run and tested on Arduino boards. The test results pointed out that the model is feasible for critical embedded environments since it provides the necessary functionality in this scenario without addition of an overhead in its communication (AU) | |
