Safety-critical Control of a 3d Quadrotor with Range-limited Sensing

چکیده

Enforcing safety is critical for aerial robotics. In this paper we consider the safety control problem for a 3D quadrotor with limited sensing range subject to avoiding collisions with timevarying obstacles. By using the concepts of Control Lyapunov Functions (CLFs) and Control Barrier functions (CBFs), we propose a control algorithm that explicitly considers the nonlinear and underactuated dynamics of a quadrotor to strictly guarantee time-varying safety-critical constraints. We demonstrate the feasibility of our proposed control design through numerical validation of (a) aerial flight through a region of dense cluttered obstacles, and (b) aerial flight through a dense time-varying obstacle field.

A Shape-Adjusted Tridimensional Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage Artifacts Using a Miniature Quadrotor

The innovative automated 3D modeling procedure presented here was used to reconstruct a Cultural Heritage (CH) object by means of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Using a motion capture system, a small low-cost quadrotor equipped with a miniature low-resolution Raspberry Pi camera module was accurately controlled in the closed loop mode and made to follow a trajectory around the artifact. A two-stag...

Distributed Formation Control of Quadrotors under Limited Sensor Field of View

This work tackles the problem of quadrotor formation control, using exclusively on-board resources. Local inter-robot localization systems are typically characterized by limited sensing capabilities, either in range or in the field of view. Most of the existing literature on the subject uses inter-robot communication to obtain the unavailable information, but problems such as communication dela...

Quadrotor Control Using Fractional-Order PI^λ D^μ Control

Quadrotor control has been noted for its trouble as the consequence of the high maneuverability, system nonlinearity and strongly coupled multivariable. This paper deals with the simulation depend on proposed controller of a quadrotor that can overcome this trouble. The mathematical model of quadrotor is determined using a Newton-Euler formulation. Fractional Order Proportional Integral Derivat...
