Abstract

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is growing at a fast pace, as they tend to play an important role in areas such as surveillance, delivery of goods, etc. Τhis is mainly based on their ability to perform flights at low cost with fast deployment. Moreover, they can transmit data produced by embedded sensors and carry packages of different size and weight. Based on these characteristics, the approach of building custom UAVs, for different applications is very common. Since each application requires specific hardware for the UAVs’ efficient operation, the selection of the appropriate parts is not an easy task. In this paper, all the necessary information of the basic UAV hardware parts is presented. Using this information, an approach is suggested, for selecting the most suited hardware parts for the most common application domains.
