Autonomous Landing of Miniature Aerial Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines a simple algorithm for automated landing of miniature aerial vehicles (MAVs). Utilizing estimates of height above ground from barometric pressure and optic flow measurements, repeated landings were performed with a 1.5 m wingspan MAV. With height above ground estimated from barometric pressure measurements alone, landing errors averaged 7.6 m. When optic flow and barometric pressure measurements were combined to estimate height above ground, the average landing error was only 4.3 m.

متن کاملOn Autonomous Landing of AR.Drone: Hands-On Experience
Autonomous landing is one of the must-have operations of unmanned aerial vehicles such as drones. In this paper we describe an approach for fully autonomous landing of AR.Drones. This approach consists of two components – identifying and recognizing a proper pattern used to mark the landing area and reaching the landing area (landing) even if small disturbances occur. We discuss possible patter...
متن کاملA High Power, Inexpensive On-board Vision System for Miniature Unmanned VTOL Vehicles
Miniature unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles have become popular due to their compact size, high maneuverability and high payload-to-size ratio. Such vehicles have shown great potential in surveillance and search and rescue; however the “onthe-ground” processing methods implemented are rather insufficient. This paper presents a low cost, h...
متن کاملLow-Cost Visual Tracking of a Landing Place and Hovering Flight Control with a Microcontroller
The growth of civil and military use has recently promoted the development of unmanned miniature aerial vehicles dedicated to surveillance tasks. These flying vehicles are often capable of carrying only a few dozen gramms of payload. To achieve autonomy for this kind of aircraft novel sensors are required, which need to cope with strictly limited onboard processing power. One of the key aspects...
متن کاملNonlinear Landing Control for Quadrotor UAVs
Quadrotor UAVs are one of the most preferred type of small unmanned aerial vehicles because of the very simple mechanical construction and propulsion principle. However, the nonlinear dynamic behavior requires a more advanced stabilizing control and guidance of these vehicles. In addition, the small payload reduces the amount of batteries that can be carried and thus also limits the operating r...
