An Improved Model-Based Observer for Inertial Navigation for Quadrotors with Low Cost IMUs

چکیده

In this paper, we present a model-based observer for inertial navigation of quadrotors and other multirotor aircraft. We include in our model a Coriolis term that has been neglected in prior work. Doing so allows us to estimate the entire velocity vector in the quadrotor’s frame of reference—including along the z-axis of this frame—with data only from a low-cost inertial measurement unit (IMU): something that has not been demonstrated previously. An observability analysis predicts that our proposed observer will perform well. Experimental results over 110 flight trials verify this prediction, showing that our proposed observer achieves lower root mean square error than three other stateof-the-art model-based observers.

Integration Scheme for SINS/GPS System Based on Vertical Channel Decomposition and In-Motion Alignment

Accurate alignment and vertical channel instability play an important role in the strap-down inertial navigation system (SINS), especially in the case that precise navigation has to be achieved over long periods of time. Due to poor initialization as well as the cumulative errors of low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs), initial alignment is not sufficient to achieve required navigation ac...
