چکیده
This article reports the development of an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of attitude estimation and stabilization through the implementation of a nonlinear complementary filter and proportional-integral rate controllers. Four infra-red sensors and an ultrasonic sensor are integrated with the main platform for the collision avoidance schemes and for altitude control, respectively. Critical mission capabilities for the vehicle such as altitude hold and collision avoidance are developed. An outdoor navigation scheme

متن کاملSuper-ellipsoidal Potential Function for Autonomous Collision Avoidance of a Teleoperated UAV
In this paper, we present the design of the super-ellipsoidal potential function (SEPF), that can be used for autonomous collision avoidance of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a 3-dimensional space. In the design of SEPF, we have the full control over the shape and size of the potential function. In particular, we can adjust the length, width, height, and the amount of flattening at the tip...
