Abstract

Drones are unmanned aerial vehicles, and their use in indoor environments has several applications, such as logistics, storage, and security. Autonomous navigation facilitates access, increases efficiency, and reduces operational costs. However, this type of application introduces positioning challenges, primarily due to the inaccuracy of GPS signals, which is the main method implemented in open environments. In this context, the development of a localization strategy based on convolutional neural network models is proposed, which are responsible for trajectory classification that informs the decision-making process of the system’s control algorithm.
