A modular wireless sensor network for architecture of autonomous UAV using dual platform for assisting rescue operation

Use of wireless sensor network for health care and human rescue missions have resulted in an improved performance and reliability along with achieving high speed, energy efficiency. This paper suggests Modular Wireless Sensor Network (MWSN) can be applied to the system architecture for autonomous drone based on dual hardware platform, Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Using ZigBee and Bluetooth, our system consists of a fleet wireless sensor network for unmanned aerial vehicle that can move autonomously for the assisting rescue operation. For protecting against unforeseen emergencies in the inaccessible place for safety reasons, our MWSN architecture is helpful to save people effectively.
