A QNX-Based Hardware and Software Platform for UAV Control

Abstract:

UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) can be widely used in military, research, industrial, agriculturaland other fields. This paper presents an onboard flight computer which can be applied toUAVs of various layouts including helicopters, fixed-wing aeroplanes and tailless aircrafts. We alsodeveloped a semi-physical simulation and actual flight software system based on QNX (a kind of realtimeoperating systems). This platform provides interfaces with MATLAB RTW generated code foreasy design and verification. The platform is used to control the autonomous take-off and landing ofa fixed-wing UAV, its stability and reliability are verified.
