Drone control and monitoring by means of a web application

Abstract

The project aims to design and implement a software framework for controlling and monitoring drones through a web application, built using the Vue.js framework. With this, I offer a contribution to the Drone Engineering Ecosystem (DEE) , an ecosystem dedicated to the control and monitoring of drones through different technologies in which students of the EETAC, a university that belongs to the UPC, can contribute and enhance the ecosystem while doing their bachelor or masters degree final project. Currently, there is a desktop application in the ecosystem that does the tasks of drone monitoring, control and mission planning. However, as the technology evolves, there is a need for web app as the advantages of a web platform for drone control and monitoring are numerous and compelling. The main benefit is the enhanced accessibility as the only needs are Internet connection and a browser, that no matter whether it is in the laptop, tablet or on a smartphone. As technology continues to evolve, web applications undoubtedly stand at the forefront of innovation in all domains. So, the focus of this project is to provide a web platform for drone controlling and monitoring. The culmination emerges as a remarkably professional and contemporary web application that empowers the user with countless levels of control over drone operations. Notably, users have the freedom to decide the drone's movements and actions, ensuring a seamless and intuitive interface that facilitates effortless navigation. The capabilities extend beyond mere control, as users can devise a diverse range of missions. One standout attribute is the ability to create geofences, a vital tool for ensuring safe and responsible drone operations. Moreover, the web app enables users to fine tune drone's flying parameters. This level of customization guarantees that the drone's performance aligns precisely with the intended goals. The outcome of the efforts yield a high level of satisfaction as the web platform has been successfully built, enhancing the basic functionalities of the desktop application while introducing additional features. However, the broader implication is that the Drone Engineering Ecosystem now boasts a new platform for drone control and monitoring. This achievement marks a significant stride forward for the DEE.Objectius de Desenvolupament Sostenible::9 - Indústria, Innovació i Infraestructur
