A control system focused on
minimizing drift - specification of a
VTOL
Natássya B. F. da Silva
Concepts
• UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)
▫ Critical Embedded System.
▫ Composed by sensors, microprocessors and communication units.
▫ Ground station.
Concepts
• VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing)
▫ Fixed-wing aircrafts, helicopters and others with powered rotors like quadcopters.
▫ Increased flexibility.
• Tailsitter
▫ Takeoff and land on its tail.
▫ Uncomfortable position for the pilot.
Concepts
• VTOL operation.
Concepts
• PID Control (Proportional, Integral and Derivative)
Application Scenario
• A manned aircraft is responsible for the pesticide spraying.
• VTOL used for direct sensing.
• Communication with the manned aircraft.
• Minimize the drift.
Objective
• To build a control system that allows the VTOL to fly autonomously in its three modes: takeoff, land and cruise.
Tools and Techniques
• Model Driven Development.
• Simulink and Real-Time Workshop.
Tools and Techniques
Tools and Techniques
• X-Plane Simulator
Tools and Techniques
• Hardware in the loop
Extending unmanned aircraft systems:
specification of a data communication
architecture
Daniel F. Pigatto
Goals
• There are researches that specify and validate architectures for UAS, but they do not focus specifically on data communication aspects;
• These researches also do not consider the concept of IFA (In-flight awareness), which is based on Sense and avoidance;
• The main goal of this project is the development of a data communication architecture for UAS.

Service-oriented architectures for
complex safety-critical embedded
systems: a case study on UAVs
Douglas Rodrigues
PhD Project
• This project proposes the use of SOA for critical embedded systems, focusing on UAVs.
• The approach proposed in this PhD project considers critical embedded systems can be divided into sections of low and high criticality, from a reference model architecture for UAVs proposed in Rodrigues et al. (2011).
PhD Project
• KBF extends the broker service discovery capability adding knowledge about the application domain.
• In this way, the application designer, or even the application itself, can choose or compose the best service based on a set of usage rules and some selection criteria such as:
▫ dependability, security, performance and real time response.
Development of a Plug and Play
Mechanism for using Smart Sensors
Arrays in UAVs
Rayner M. Pires
Objectives
• Contribute for the progress of UAV autonomy
• Dissociate from the aircraft the mission processing task
▫ Use of MOSA (Mission-Oriented Sensors Array)
▫ Proposal and development of SSP (Smart Sensor Protocol) and SSI (Smart Sensor Interface)
Mission-Oriented Sensors Array
SSP
Hardware connection

Mission accomplishment
Data exchange via SSP/SSI
SSP
Connection and Session establishment
Mission parameters negotiation
•Is it na aircraft?•Is it ready to fly?•What’s the estimated remaining autonomy time?
•Can it fly over the given GPS points?
•Can it fly under specific speed and height?
•Does it have external services?•How can they be invoked?
Mission feasibility
•Feasible•Partially feasible•Unfeasible
On-the-fly data
exchange
MOSA and UAV exchange data while
mission accomplishment
SSI
• It’s a connection middleware
• Via of communication between both parts
• Enables conversation through SSP
Generation of spectral signatures for
detection of pathologies in Eucalyptus
crops - A study using UAVs
Adimara B. Colturato
Objective
• Comparison between:▫ Direct methods -
counting diseased plants and quantification of the percentage of injured tissue by pathogens
▫ Indirect methods - analysis of reflectance at different wavelengths (multispectral analysis) making use UAV's and image processing.
Pathologies considered
Tip drought
Rust
Ceratocystis wilt
Bronze bug
Objective
• The spectral signatures produced will be used in the design of specific low cost multispectral sensors that can be embedded in UAVs for the automatic mapping of each problem.
Computer Network Virtualization: An
approach considering mobility and
georeferencing
Paulo Henrique Moreira Gurgel
Difficulties in the study of computer
networks
• How to study computer networks?
▫ Routing protocols? (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP)
▫ How to verify if the message was really sent from a machine to another one?
▫ How to test a distributed application without the final environment?
Visiting a network laboratory
Scenario Sample
Virtualization x Simulation
• Virtualization as a solution
▫ You can go further
▫ Not restricted by simulation rules
Cisco Packet Tracer
Netkit Tool
Mobile Networks
• More protocols and equipments
▫ Ad-hoc networks
▫ Wireless Routers
▫ GPRS, GSM, 3G, 4G, etc.
▫ GPS
Master Degree Project
• The actual tool does not supports mobility.
▫ Need of mobile devices
▫ Use of embedded devices special virtual machines
