Influence of Aerodynamics and Proximity Effects in Quadrotor Flight
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dynamic response and performance of a micro UAV is greatly influenced by its aerodynamics which in turn is affected by the interactions with features in the environment in close proximity. In the paper we address the modeling of quadrotor robots in different flight conditions that include relative wind velocity and proximity to the ground, the ceiling and other robots. We discuss the incorporation of these models into controllers and the use of a swarm of robots to map features in the environment from variations in the aerodynamics.

Examination of Quadrotor Inverse Simulation Problem Using Trust-Region Dogleg Solution Method
In this paper, the particular solution technique for inverse simulation applied to the quadrotor maneuvering flight is investigated. The trust-region dogleg (DL) technique which is proposed alleviates the weakness of Newton’s method used for numerical differentiation of system states in the solution process. The proposed technique emphasizes global convergence solution to the inverse simulatio...
متن کاملQuadrotor Flight in Constrained Environments
Rotor aerodynamics is known to be significant in quadrotor flight [1]. We extend a previously proposed aerodynamic model which relates rotor thrust to rotor angular speed, relative velocity between the rotor plane of motion and the air, and proximity of both the ground and the ceiling. Our model adds the rotor angle of attack to this framework. We develop a simulation to demonstrate the effect ...

Small rotary-wing UAVs are susceptible to gusts and other environmental disturbances that affect inflow at their rotors. Inflow variations cause unexpected aerodynamic forces through changes in thrust conditions and unmodeled blade-flapping dynamics. This paper introduces an onboard, pressure-based flow measurement system developed for a small quadrotor helicopter. The probe-based instrumentati...
