The possibility of creating a computer control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle using remote cloud computing according to predefined scenarios from the user’s desktop is investigated. For this, an experimental setup was created, which includes a quadcopter, a personal computer with the Windows operating system, an on-board computer Raspberry-3 with the Linux operating system, a Pi Camera V2 camcorder, and a Pixhawk autopilot. To model the control and transmission of video images the own control programs and photo pursuit on a computer Raspberry-3 in Python are recorded. Based on the obtained results, a model of unmanned aerial vehicle control from the desktop of the user’s personal computer via the on-board computer without the use of a standard control panel and operator is proposed.
