چکیده
This paper focuses on the use of the Virtual Robotics Experimental Platform (V-REP) and the Robotics Operative System (ROS) working in parallel for design, test, and tuning of a vision based control system to command an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Here, is presented how to configure the V-REP, and ROS to work in parallel, and how to use the developed packages in ROS for the pose estimation based on vision and for the design and use of a fuzzy logic control system. It is also shown in this paper a novel vision based fuzzy control approach for the autonomous landing task on a static and on a moving platform. The control system is based on four fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) working in parallel on an external control loop based on the visual information. All the controllers were designed and tuned to command the vertical, longitudinal, lateral, and heading velocities of the UAV.

During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...

متن کاملTowards vision-based safe landing for an autonomous helicopter
Autonomous landing is a challenging problem for aerial robots. An autonomous landing manoeuver depends largely on two capabilities: the decision of where to land and the generation of control signals to guide the vehicle to a safe landing. We focus on the rst capability here by presenting a strategy and an underlying fast algorithm as the computer vision basis to make a safe landing decision. T...
