Towards Intelligent Miniature Flying Robots

چکیده
This paper presents a practical method for small-scale VTOL design. It helps for elements selection and dimensioning. We apply the latter to design a fully autonomous quadrotor with numerous innovations in design methodology, steering and propulsion achieving 100% thrust margin for 30min autonomy. The robot is capable of rotational and translational motion estimation. Finally, we derive a nonlinear dynamics simulation model, perform a simulation with a PD test controller and test successfully the robot in a real flight. We are confident that ”OS4” is a significant progress towards intelligent miniature quadrotors.

Dynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages
A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...
متن کاملSelf-assembly in space via self-reconfigurable robots
Self-assembly systems in space are arguably within the reach of today’s technology based on the research and development of self-reconfigurable robots on earth. This paper presents an approach to self-assembly in space by developing (1) a novel design for intelligent and reconfigurable components; (2) the free-flying “intelligent fiber/rope” “match-maker” robots with self-reconfigurable and sel...
متن کاملBio-Inspired Water Strider Robots with Microfabricated Functional Surfaces
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in insect-inspired miniature robots. Through evolutionary processes, insects have prospered by adapting themselves to diverse environments. The number of species of insects is approximately one million, which comprises approximately two-thirds of all species of animals. By taking advantage of scaling effects, insects have acquired unique loc...
متن کاملA New Intelligent Approach to Patient-cooperative Control of Rehabilitation Robots
This paper presents a new intelligent method to control rehabilitation robots by mainly considering reactions of patient instead of doing a repetitive preprogrammed movement. It generates a general reference trajectory based on different reactions of patient during therapy. Three main reactions has been identified and included in reference trajectory: small variations, force shocks in a single ...
متن کاملFLYING ROBOTS: Sensing, Control and Decision Making
This paper presents a flight management system (FMS) implemented as on-board intelligence for rotorcraftbased unmanned aerial vehicles (RUAVs). This hierarchical flight management system endows each vehicle with autonomy resembling sense-reason-act processes of intelligent agents in nature. Sensor measurements are processed by flight control computers in order to gradually refine given abstract...
