Desarrollo de un sistema robótico heterogéneo con coordinación entre un robot terrestre y aéreo

Abstract

The integration of different robotic platforms opens new possibilities for studying coordination between aerial and ground systems. In this integrative project, an experimental system is developed to validate such coordination through visual stimuli, with the purpose of providing an academic tool that enhances practical learning in robotics and promotes research in this field. The proposal is justified by the need for accessible and functional solutions that bring students closer to real experimentation environments. The work involved defining technical requirements, selecting lightweight and low-cost components, and designing structures to securely integrate electronic modules into the aerial platform. The system was evaluated both in simulation environments and in controlled laboratory tests, achieving satisfactory performance in the interaction between robots of different nature. The results indicate that the proposal represents a viable and didactic alternative for academic projects, with potential for expansion toward more complex scenarios related to collective robotics.
