AutoPilot System
An autonomous flight control system for unmanned aircraft (UAV) models. The system enables autonomous flight according to programmed GPS coordinates with aerial photography.
Two hardware platform versions were developed:
- Pocket PC version: running on a handheld device with Windows CE OS
- x86 version: running on a compact embedded PC with Windows XP OS
System Architecture
The system integrates an onboard computer, GPS receiver, inertial sensors, and servo actuators:
