Abstract
Technology has created a new world of smart mobility with the objective of satisfying human needs with more functionality. This research work is about how to create a 3D localization system using the Angle of Arrival (AoA) technique, combined with Wi-Fi technology and motorized directional antennas. Our objective is to locate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is driven with the help of a smart network of directional antennas. The mini UAV will automatically follow a planned route around an object, using Wi-Fi smart techniques. Our results show that a network of smart antennas can be used to locate a UAV with high precision.
