Distributed Control and Navigation System for Quadrotor UAVs in GPS-Denied Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of developing distributed control and navigation system for quadrotor UAVs operating in GPS-denied environments is addressed in the paper. Cooperative navigation, marker detection and mapping task solved by a team of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles is chosen as demo example. Developed intelligent control system complies with on 4D\RCS reference model and its implementation is based on ROS framework. Custom implementation of EKF-based map building algorithm is used to solve marker detection and map

Robust Position Control of a Quadrotor Using Onboard Optical Flow Sensor
In this paper, the uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE)-based position controllers are developed to achieve the robust position control of a quadrotor using only onboard sensing. Firstly, in order to accurately estimate the positions of the quadrotor in GPS-denied environments, an open source high speed optical flow sensor PX4FLOW is adopted. Secondly, the UDE-based controllers are devel...
متن کاملA Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...
متن کاملPerception and Navigation for an Autonomous quadrotor in GPS-denied Environments
Robots need autonomous navigation to complete their tasks efficiently. This becomes more challenging in GPS-denied environments where positioning information is not available. For small flying robots and quadrotors, inherent limitations such as limited sensor payload and small system time-constant add another layer of challenge to the problem. This paper presents a solution for autonomous navig...
متن کاملGPS Jamming Detection in UAV Navigation Using Visual Odometry and HOD Trajectory Descriptor
Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...
متن کاملVision-Aided Inertial Navigation for Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in GPS-Denied Environments
This paper presents a vision-aided inertial navigation system for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in GPS-denied environments. During visual estimation, image features in consecutive frames are detected and matched to estimate the motion of the vehicle with a homography-based approach. Afterwards, the visual measurement is fused with the output of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) by an i...
