Abstract :
This paper presents the application of tiny, high-performance computers to create a new generation of much more agile unmanned aerial vehicles. UAVs have come a long way since the tethered balloons of the second world war. Modern versions can have as much surveillance power as a Lockheed Martin U-2 spy plane, or be small enough to fly into a room
