Integration of UAVs with Real Time Operating Systems using UAVCAN. 2019 IEEE 10th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON), 0600–0605. https://doi.org/10.1109/UEMCON47517.2019.8993011https://hdl.handle.net/1805/25222In todays world, the applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems are leaping by extending their scope from military applications on to commercial and medical sectors as well. Owing to this commercialization, the necessity to append external hardware with UAV systems becomes inevitable. This external hardware could aid in enabling wireless data transfer between the UAV system and remote Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) using low powered architecture like Thread, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). The data is being transmitted from the flight controller to the ground control station using MAVLink (Micro Air Vehicle Link) protocol. The ideal aim of this research is to address the issues of integrating different hardware with the flight controller of the UAV system using a light-weight protocol called UAVCAN. This approach would result in reduced wiring and would harness the problem of integrating multiple systems to UAV.enPublisher Policyautonomous aerial vehiclesBluetoothcontrol engineering computingConference proceedings
