Dynamic 3d Path following for an Autonomous Helicopter
نویسندگان
چکیده
A hybrid control system for dynamic path following for an autonomous helicopter is described. The hierarchically structured system combines continuous control law execution with event-driven state machines. Trajectories are defined by a sequence of 3D path segments and velocity profiles, where each path segment is described as a parametric curve. The method can be used in combination with a path planner for flying collision-free in a known environment. Experimental flight test results are shown.

متن کاملA 3d Path-following Velocity-tracking Controller for Autonomous Vehicles
This paper addresses the path-following problem of steering an autonomous vehicle along a desired path, while tracking a predefined velocity profile. The presented solution relies on the definition of a path-dependent error space to express the dynamic model of the vehicle, which is specially suited for a Dmethodology controller implementation. The error space exhibits a high-degree of directio...
