A Micro Aerial Vehicle Motion Capture System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we report on the design of a 6 Degrees-Of-Freedom (6-DOF) motion tracking system for a MicroAerial-Vehicle (MAV) using stereo-vision. The pose measurement is performed by tracking the 3D positions of a marker (three targets) attached to the MAV. This task involves determination of optimal sensor placement for the stereo system and an orientation calculation algorithm. Experiments were conducted to validate the set-up against defined accuracy requirements.

متن کاملModeling and Control of MM-UAV: Mobile Manipulating Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Compared to autonomous ground vehicles, UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) have significant mobility advantages and the potential to operate in otherwise unreachable locations. Micro UAVs still suffer from one major drawback: they do not have the necessary payload capabilities to support high performance arms. This paper, however, investigates the key challenges in controlling a mobile manipulatin...
متن کامل3D Local Multiresolution Grid for Aggregating Omnidi- rectional Laser Measurements on a Micro Aerial Vehicle
Micro aerial vehicles (MAV) pose a challenge in designing sensory systems and algorithms due to their size and weight constraints and limited computing power. We present an efficient 3D multiresolution map that we use to aggregate measurements from our lightweight continuously rotating laser scanner. We estimate robot motion by means of visual odometry and scan registration, aligning consecutiv...
متن کاملDynamic System Identification, and Control for a cost effective open-source VTOL MAV
This paper describes dynamic system identification, and full control of a cost-effective vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) multi-rotor micro-aerial vehicle (MAV) — DJI Matrice 100. The dynamics of the vehicle and autopilot controllers are identified using only a built-in IMU and utilized to design a subsequent model predictive controller (MPC). Experimental results for the control performanc...
