Development of Real-Time Embedded Application for Drone System

This paper represents a contribution within the framework of the development of an electronic system for piloting a drone. The latter is intended for inspection and monitoring tasks using a video camera. The system in question is built around a microcontroller and makes use of the FreeRTOS real-time kernel that allows to manage the various tasks running in parallel, as well as the physical resources of the system. The short-term objective is to set up a preliminary version of this system, which allows to: read the state of the sensors involved in the control of the drone; to manage the wireless transmission of acquired visual data to a web server, the latter playing the role of a ground control and reception station.
