Autonomous drone for search and rescue mission For this exercise, we will design the control system for a drone intended for search and rescue missions. To assess the effectiveness of our program, we will simulate a shipwreck scenario. In this hypothetical situation, we will be informed of the presence of shipwreck survivors (with an unknown number of individuals) at specific coordinates. Our drone will need to navigate to the designated area, sweep the vicinity for survivors, report to the rescue team, and ultimately return to the takeoff zone. Drone behavior: For the fulfillment of our mission, we will implement a state machine in which our drone will start from the 'disarmed' state, needing to arm and take off before transitioning to the 'go to survivors' state. Once the drone is in the last sighting zone, it will switch to the 'search' state, where it will perform a spiral sweep and record the location of any spotted survivor. Finally, upon completing the se
