Description
Summary:This work describes the hardware and software architectures used for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It has successfully operated for more than a hundred flight hours. The main aim of this work is to allow quick development and test of control strategies on a complex dynamic system. The software has been designed using parallel modules. Application to the control of a radio control (RC) helicopter is briefly described
