Abstract

This article shows the advances on previous outcomes with a quadcopter in the context of Situated Robotics. Thus, external vision is used to capture the performance environment made up by four checkpoints over which the drone must autonomously fly. The implementation is discussed and the outcomes of the trials performed with the drone guided through two testing models—one external vision-centered and the other one hybrid—are shown.
