Abstract: Abstract Application and development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have had a rapid growth. The flight control of these aircrafts can be performed remotely or autonomously. There are different strategies for the UAV autonomous navigation. The positioning estimation can be done by using inertial sensors and General Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The use of the GNSS signal can present some difficulties: natural or not natural interference. An alternative for positioning adjustment is to use a data fusion from different sensors by a Kalman filter. A supervised artificial network (ANN) is trained to emulate the filter for reducing the computational effort. An automatic best topology for the neural network is obtained by minimizing a functional by a new meta-heuristic called Multi-Particle Collision Algorithm (MPCA). Our results show similar accuracy between the ANN and the Kalman filter, with better processing performance to the neural network.
