Quadrotor Using Minimal Sensing For Autonomous Indoor Flight
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a Miniature Aerial Vehicle (MAV) capable of handsoff autonomous operation within indoor environments. Our prototype is a Quadrotor weighing approximately 600g, with a diameter of 550mm, which carries the necessary electronics for stability control, altitude control, collision avoidance and anti-drift control. This MAV is equipped with three rate gyroscopes, three accelerometers, one ultrasonic sensor, four infrared sensors, a high-speed motor controller and a flight computer. Autonomous flight tests have been carried out in a 7x6-m room.

Aggressive Quadrotor Flight through Narrow Gaps with Onboard Sensing and Computing
In this paper, we address one of the main challenges towards autonomous quadrotor flight in complex environments, which is flight through narrow gaps. We present a method that allows a quadrotor to autonomously and safely pass through a narrow, inclined gap using only its onboard visualinertial sensors and computer. Previous works have addressed quadrotor flight through gaps using external moti...
متن کاملAutonomous Flight of a Quadrotor Using Multi-Camera Visual SLAM
This paper presents the development and validation of a vision-based navigation and control system for a small unmanned quadrotor. The core of this system is a state estimator based on the so-called multi-camera parallel tracking and mapping algorithm, which provides accurate pose estimation for the quadrotor using multiple cameras. Built on cascaded proportional-integral-derivative control loo...
متن کاملAutonomous Flight in Unknown Indoor Environments
This paper presents our solution for enabling a quadrotor helicopter, equipped with a laser rangefinder sensor, to autonomously explore and map unstructured and unknown indoor environments. While these capabilities are already commodities on ground vehicles, air vehicles seeking the same performance face unique challenges. In this paper, we describe the difficulties in achieving fully autonomou...
متن کاملDesign and Development of a Class of Rotorcraft-based UAV
We discuss the development of a mini‐ quadrotor system and coaxial quadrotor system for indoor and outdoor applications. The attitude control system consists of a stability augmentation system and a modern control approach. To perform an experimental flight test, a PID controller is used to validate our aerodynamic modelling and basic electronics hardware is dev...
متن کاملSmartphone Quadrotor Flight Controllers and Algorithms for Autonomous Flight
Some of the most interesting recent research in quadrotor flight is related to fully autonomous systems, i.e. only using onboard processing and sensing. Many researchers have demonstrated different aspects needed for autonomy and within the last couple of years some have even demonstrated fully autonomous flight. [1], [2] One of the biggest challenges is finding powerful lightweight mobile proc...
