Sistema de adquisición de datos de sensores remotos usando un Vehículo Aéreo no Tripulado (UAV).

Abstract

The objective of this research is to provide a solution to the detecting problem in gathering information of nodes located in remote areas (remote node), using Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), The information obtained is transported to a base station for analysis to achieve this is employed the concept of, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Their applications can be military, environmental or medical. In this context, the architectures and network media are proposes to provide solutions to this problem and generate a critical divergence for possible jobs and future improvements.

To improve the connectivity of the WSN, are developed two types of architectures based on a star topology; collection and repetition. In the first one, data is loaded to a mobile node where is stored and then is downloaded by wired or wireless communication to a node, when the UAV reachs the base station. In the second one, the data is uploaded from the remote node and downloaded instantly to the base station node.
