4TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AEROSPACE SCIENCES A practical receding horizon control framework for path planning and control of autonomous VTOL vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes an integrated path planning and tracking control framework for autonomous verticaltake-off-and-landing (VTOL) vehicles, specially a quadrotor. The path planning adopts a receding horizon strategy to repeatedly plan a local trajectory that satisfies the vehicle dynamics and obstacle avoidance requirement. A tracking controller is then designed to track the optimised path. The differential flatness property of the quadrotor is exploited in both path planner and tracking controller designs. The proposed framework is verified by simulations and the flight test using an AscTec Hummingbird quadrotor is also under preparation.

Autonomous Path Planning and Estimation using UAVs
The main contribution of this work is an online path planning framework for cooperative search and localization using unmanned aerial vehicles. In this work, a team of vehicles is used to cooperatively search for a single stationary target. A vision-based sensing system, that incorporates position and attitude uncertainty, is used to develop probabilistic likelihood functions. By accounting for...
متن کاملThe obstacle avoidance motion planning problem for autonomous vehicles: A low-demanding receding horizon control scheme
The paper addresses the obstacle avoidance motion planning problem for ground vehicles operating in uncertain environments. By resorting to set-theoretic ideas, a receding horizon control algorithm is proposed for robots modelled by linear time-invariant (LTI) systems subject to input and state constraints and disturbance effects. Sequences of inner ellipsoidal approximations of the exact one-s...

Autonomous surface vehicles (ASV) are becoming more widely used in environmental monitoring applications. Due to the limited duration of these vehicles, algorithms need to be developed to save energy and maximize monitoring efficiency. This paper compares receding horizon path planning models for their effectiveness at collecting usable data in an aquatic environment. An adaptive receding horiz...
متن کاملReceding Horizon Based Control of Disturbed Upright Balance with Consideration of Foot Tilting(RESEARCH NOTE)
In some situations, when an external disturbance occurs, humans can rock stably backward and forward by lifting the toe or the heel to keep the upright balance without stepping. Many control schemes have been proposed for standing balance control under external disturbances without stepping. But, in most of them researchers have only considered a flat foot phase. In this paper a framework is pr...
متن کاملDesign of an Intelligent Controller for Station Keeping, Attitude Control, and Path Tracking of a Quadrotor Using Recursive Neural Networks
During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...
