@conference{10902/23716, year = {2021}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/23716}, abstract = {New services and business models based on drones are continuously being proposed. System engineering for these services have to include simulation as the cost of detecting design mistakes during the first prototype flights may be very high. If this fact is true in any complex system, in the case of drone-based services design mistakes may compromise the drones and the payload they carry increasing the associated cost. System verification has to be made at different abstraction levels so that each design step is verified. As a consequence, a multilevel simulation framework is needed. In this paper, such a simulation framework is proposed able to verify the system functionality and performance along the design process.}, organization = {This work has been funded by the EU and the Spanish MICINN/AEI through the ECSEL Comp4Drones and the TEC2017-86722-C4-3-R PLATINO projects.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.}, publisher = {XXXVI Conference on Design of Circuits and Integrated Systems (DCIS), Vila do Conde, Portugal, 2021}, title = {Multilevel host-compiled simulation framework for ROS-based UAV services using ArduCopter}, author = {Merino Calleja, Javier and Gómez Varela, Raúl and Posadas Cobo, Héctor and Villar Bonet, Eugenio, 1957-}, }
