Abstract
This master's thesis was developed as part of a research led by Pr. Pierre Latteur and his team at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), in the Civil and environmental engineering department. The team studies the possibility of masonry work using UAVs. As construction elements adapted to the use of UAVs have already been developed, the next step is the automation of the process. In this context, three complementary automatic positioning systems were developed this year. In this thesis is explained the development of a positioning system using a robotic total station (RTS). In spite of the fact that a real-scale guidance test could not be performed, the positioning system as itself has been proven centimeter accurate. Further work should first test a concrete autonomous flight of a UAV with the three systems implemented, then perform a masonry test with the adapted construction elements.
