Project of a hardware and software architecture for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

This paper describes a simple hardware/software architecture for a micro UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). This architecture follows the master-slave model and uses the Standard USB as communication interface. The main contribution of this paper is a C++ library, which makes possible communicate an embedded PC with several microcontrollers. Through this interface, it is possible to build a robot using a standard Linux as operational system, and even though, attend to certain time deadlines.
