Abstract :
This paper presents a design for a prototype of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) quad rotor for swarm of robots application. We also propose a set of sensors and a frame where the UAV quad rotor will be setup. This is the first of a set of papers where this prototype will be modeled, designed, built and then tested in a real world situation. We propose the use of some devices and we also explain their necessity in order to obtain a final prototype capable of flying autonomously and being able to behave like a swarm of robots.
