A Platform to Develop for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: an Approach of Autonomy Development Using Jason / Agentspeak Intelligent Agents Marcelo Tomio Hama

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are relatively new in civilian context, where many technologies and algorithms have been the focus for researches and developments. Software engineering applied to this field has few approaches in relation to autonomous systems and intelligent behavior development, while multi-agent system and agent-oriented programming are being increasingly used. This work focuses on applying the paradigm of agent-oriented programming for UAV control, in order to design a framework and use architectures, theories and agent oriented tools as a way to provide a more sophisticated abstraction when programming intelligent behaviors in UAV.
