Abstract
The work presented focuses in the simulations and real experiments of perimeter surveillance under communication constraints, performed by teams of UAVs using a Bluetooth communication framework. When UAVs work in a colaborative manner, communication among them is essential to properly perform their task. Moreover, energy consumption and weight of the devices equipped in a UAV are important to be reduced at minimum possible, particularly in micro-UAVs. A coordination variables strategy is implemented to perform the perimeter division.
