Up and away: A visually-controlled easy-to-deploy wireless UAV Cyber-Physical testbed

摘要: Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) have the promise of presenting next evolution in computing with potential applications that include aerospace, transportation, and various automation systems. These motivate advances different sub-fields CPS such as mobile computing, context awareness, computer vision. However, deploying testing complete CPSs is known to be a complex expensive task. In this paper, we present design, implementation, evaluation Up Away (UnA): testbed for use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) their main physical component. UnA aims abstract control system components reduce complexity UAV oriented experiments. provides APIs allow converting algorithm implementations, developed typically simulations, into experiments using few simple steps. We two scenarios UnA’s API bring mobile-camera-based surveillance algorithms life, thus exhibiting ease flexibility UnA.
