Review of operating systems used in unmanned aerial vehicles

Systemy operacyjne (OS) odgrywają kluczową rolę w funkcjonowaniu i wydajności bezzałogowych statków powietrznych, stanowiąc ich centralny układ nerwowy i zarządzając różnymi komponentami i funkcjami. W artykule tym zaprezentowano kompleksowy przegląd systemów operacyjnych wbudowanych (EOS), systemów operacyjnych czasu rzeczywistego (RTOS) i systemów operacyjnych w chmurze (Cloud OS) przeznaczonych dla bezzałogowych statków powietrznych (UAV). W szczególności, z perspektywy praktycznego zastosowania, przeanalizowano mocne i słabe strony następujących systemów operacyjnych: PX4 Autopilot, ArduPilot, NuttX, Robot Operating System (ROS), FreeRTOS, MicroPython i ChibiOS/RT. Przedstawiono również ogólny przegląd potencjalnych praktycznych zastosowań Cloud OS. Dzięki temu można poznać kryteria wyboru systemów operacyjnych, a także ich mocne i słabe strony. Ważne jest, aby zrozumieć, że rola systemu operacyjnego w rozwoju bezzałogowych statków powietrznych jest kluczowa dla optymalizacji wydajności, bezpieczeństwa i efektywności w różnych zastosowaniach, od monitorowania rolnictwa po nadzór bezpieczeństwa.
