The project presented in this document consists in the implementation of a Parrot Bebop 2 quadcopter as a line follower, the communication between the device and the computer, that carries out the control algorithm, is done via Wi-Fi using the development platform of software for robots ROS (Robot Operating System), which implements a publisher/subscriber model of communication. Through the use of Atom text editor, a Python 3.7 script was developed; in this one it’s integrated: a piloting control algorithm, a method of communication (publisher/subscriber) between the computer and the quadcopter, a stage for digitalimage processing and a generic joystick driver, the last one is used for flight tests and as a method to takeoff and land the quadcopter.
