Project HEALTHDRONES

Researchers acquire 40% of the equipment according to project HEALTHDRONES. The equipment is to improve the simulation infrastructure to test algorithms used to assess the degree of programmability of the software platform developed for UAVs.

The first results

Some autonomous simulation test flight controlled by our “API” in a Parrot Elite model and without GPS or GPRS or any kind of manufacturer facility have been done. They can be found here:

bit.ly/VideosHealthDrones.

Some photos are also available illustrating how we use Arduino to control the UAV. Thus, we became independent of the trading platform.

The next steps

The entire process will be documented in a dissertation to be completed in August 2015 (www.ppgia.ufrpe.br) and subsequently published in a scientific journal in the area.

Another dissertation is underway (first results even in 2015). This tests the degree of programmability platform developed when applied to control outbreaks in populations.

UFAL researcher visits UFPE

Márcio Ribeiro visited the Software Productivity Group at CIn/UFPE to continue the collaboration that both universities have been doing. In particular, the technical discussion was about two papers that will be submitted soon.
