The ability of the UAV to adapt to possible failures or changes in flight dynamics is crucial for its resilience. The paper proposes a two-layer fault detection procedure augmenting Incremental Controller (IC) designed for a fixed-wing UAV. IC benefits from recent advantages of the sensing technologies and uses angular accelerations and current control deflections to reduce the dependency on aircraft model. Nevertheless, control effectiveness is still required for its implementation. The elaborated two-layer fault detection scheme is capable to detect and localize possible failures and provide the IC with on-line estimations of control effectiveness. At the first layer, the system performs monitoring of possible failures. If a problem in one of the control direction is detected the algorithm initiates the second-layer identification determining the individual effectiveness of each control surface involved in this control direction. The effectiveness of the proposed fault detection technique is demonstrated with simulation of stuck in position and hardover of the aileron of a fixed-wing UAV.
无人机适应可能的故障或飞行动力学变化的能力对其弹性至关重要。针对某型固定翼无人机,提出了一种两层故障检测方法——增强增量控制器(IC)。集成电路得益于传感技术的最新优势,并使用角加速度和电流控制偏转来减少对飞机模型的依赖。尽管如此,仍然需要有效地控制其实施。阐述的两层故障检测方案能够检测和定位可能的故障,并为集成电路提供控制效果的在线估计。在第一层,系统对可能出现的故障进行监控。如果检测到其中一个控制方向上存在问题,则算法启动第二层识别,确定该控制方向上涉及的每个控制面的单个有效性。通过对某固定翼无人机副翼卡位和硬翻的仿真,验证了所提故障检测技术的有效性。

This paper aims to propose a nonlinear attitude controller for a drone system controlled by the control momentum gyros (CMGs). The dynamic modeling and the control mechanism of the considering system are first investigated. After that, based on the assumption of the timescale separation, the proposed controller is designed using the feedback linearization methodology. To make the resultant controller follow the three-loop structure, specific forms of the desired error dynamics are utilized in the design step. The characteristics of the proposed method are investigated through numerical simulations. The results show that the proposed controller can provide a good tracking performance against model uncertainties as well as model nonlinearities.

In recent years Autonomous Drone Racing has become a significant challenge due to the problems involved in developing an algorithm for autonomous navigation. One of the major problems is the estimation of the camera pose; several approaches can be founded to achieve the estimation of the camera pose. In particular, it is possible to estimates the position based on specific object detection. However, object detection at the same time of navigation entails the problem of a blind spot area when the camera is closest to the object. We propose a methodology that overcomes the blind spot in autonomous navigation based on CNN gate detection to perform pose estimation with a stochastic algorithm for distance estimation. We achieve over 95 % in gate detection and a mean error of around 35 cm in 1D pose estimation into the blind spot zone.
近年来,由于开发自主导航算法所涉及的问题,自主无人机竞赛已成为一个重大挑战。其中一个主要问题是相机姿态的估计;可以建立几种方法来实现相机姿态的估计。特别是,可以根据特定的目标检测来估计位置。然而,在导航的同时进行目标检测,在相机离目标最近的时候会出现盲点问题。本文提出了一种基于CNN门检测的自主导航盲点估计方法,利用随机距离估计算法进行姿态估计。我们实现了95%以上的门检测,在盲点区域的一维姿态估计中平均误差约为35 cm。

An intelligent and agile wireless communication scheme is a key factor in provision of efficient air-to-ground (A2G) communication for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operations. For this purpose we review and propose an architecture for aeronautical cognitive communication system (ACCS) that will be providing command, control and communication (C3) link between ground control stations (GCSs) and multiple UAVs utilizing cognitive radio (CR) concept. The factors reviewed and accounted for in the design process are the topology of cognitive detectors, connectivity between cognitive detector and control agency, connection with unmanned traffic management (UTM) system, data link requirements imposed by cognitive scheme, failure notification and recovery, etc. The proposed ACCS is suitable for supporting UAV operations and features a distributed non-communication architecture consisting of GCS network in the ground zone, hybrid data link with the static uplink and the flexible downlink, demonstrating a dynamic nature overall with the frequency handoff scheme generated periodically in accordance with current spectrum environment.

The Rise Of High-Performance Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles - How worried should we be? 高性能多旋翼无人机的兴起——我们该有多担心?

High-performance multirotor drones optimised for speed and agility present a significant and increasing challenge to current counter-drone systems based on jamming or physical interdiction. Existing jamming technology requires sustained visual line of sight targets and is most effective in countering threats from relatively slow and RF compliant videography drones. Physical interdiction using nets is again only suitable for low-speed interception. Small vehicles based on commercially available consumer drone technology with a mass of less than 1 kg and package size of 15 cm can achieve flight speeds in excess of 70 m/s and can accelerate at up to 15g, and are sufficiently inexpensive as to be considered disposable. Custom flight control systems bypass geofence restrictions and the wide availability of high power radio links greatly exceeding OFCOM limits significantly reduces the range over which commercial jamming systems are effective. Static acceleration performance is maximised simply by decreasing the power loading and decreasing the disc loading and is approximately independent of the size (mass) of the vehicle. Maximisation of top speed is more complex, requiring identification of an optimal disc loading that balances thrust against rotor drag. Top speed is also affected by area/volume scaling meaning that larger vehicles with the same power to weight ratio and disc loading generally have less drag and hence higher top speed. Consumer technology for very high thrust to weight ratio variants of larger multirotor drones is currently not readily available. However, 10 kg drones with a top speed of 100 m/s and static acceleration of 20 g are foreseeable in the next 5 years.
针对速度和敏捷性进行优化的高性能多旋翼无人机对当前基于干扰或物理拦截的反无人机系统提出了重大且日益严峻的挑战。现有的干扰技术需要持续的视线目标,并且在对抗相对缓慢和符合射频的摄像无人机的威胁时最有效。使用网络的物理拦截同样只适用于低速拦截。基于商用消费无人机技术的小型车辆,质量小于1公斤,包装尺寸为15厘米,可以实现超过70米/秒的飞行速度,可以加速到15克,并且足够便宜,可以被认为是一次性的。定制飞行控制系统绕过地理围栏限制,高功率无线电链路的广泛可用性大大超过OFCOM的限制,大大减少了商业干扰系统的有效范围。静态加速性能可以简单地通过减少功率负载和减少圆盘负载来最大化,并且大约与车辆的大小(质量)无关。最大速度是更复杂的,需要确定一个最佳的圆盘负载,平衡推力与转子阻力。最高速度也受到面积/体积比例的影响,这意味着具有相同功率重量比和圆盘装载的大型车辆通常阻力较小,因此最高速度更高。大型多旋翼无人机的高推力重量比变体的消费技术目前还不容易获得。然而,在未来5年内,可以预见到最高速度为100米/秒、静态加速度为20克的10公斤级无人机。

There has been a recent surge in interest regarding small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that operate in indoor environments. A crucial part of such platforms is the navigation system that allows them to navigate in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) denied environments. The two objectives of this work were to develop an Optical Flow (OF) based method for navigation and a high-fidelity simulation for testing and verification. This paper presents the Visual-Inertial Navigation System (VINS) developed that utilises sparse and dense Optical Flow patterns within an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) framework for autonomous navigation in GNSS denied environments. The principal novelty is the use of dense Optical Flow measurements to estimate the velocity of the UAV.

It is well known that the V-shape formation of fixed-wing aerial vehicles can contribute to saving fuel consumption from its induced drag reduction. Although it has been widely adopted on various flight missions, the conventional formation method of forming a single V-formation has issues on robustness and scalability if large number of agents are involved. In this paper, we propose a decentralized and scalable approach capable of generating separated multiple V-shape formations for the undirected time-varying networked agents. Using a variation of the multi-consensus algorithm, a flock of agents can be divided into the desired number of subgroups regardless of the subgroup network topology if the algebraic connectivity of the entire flock is maintained. Numerical simulation results are provided to show the feasibility of the proposed formation control.
众所周知,固定翼飞行器的v型队形可以通过诱导阻力减小来节省燃油消耗。传统的单一v型编队编队方法虽然在各种飞行任务中得到了广泛的应用,但在agent数量较多的情况下,存在鲁棒性和可扩展性问题。在本文中,我们提出了一种分散和可扩展的方法,能够为无向时变网络智能体生成分离的多个v形编队。使用多共识算法的一种变体,在保持整个群体的代数连通性的情况下,可以将一群代理划分为所需数量的子组,而不管子组网络拓扑如何。数值模拟结果表明了所提出的地层控制方法的可行性。

The development of perception systems for bio-inspired flapping wing robots, or ornithopters, is very challenging due to their fast flying maneuvers and the high amount of vibrations and motion blur originated by the wing flapping. Visual sensors have been widely used in aerial robot perception due to their size, weight, and energy consumption capabilities. This paper analyzes the issues and challenges for vision sensors onboard ornithopter robots. Two visual sensors are evaluated: a monocular camera and an event-based camera. First, the pros and cons of integrating different sensors on flapping wing robots are studied. Second, the paper experimentally evaluates the impact of wing flapping frequency on both sensors using experiments with the ornithopter developed in the EU-funded GRIFFIN ERC project.
仿生扑翼机器人或扑翼机的感知系统的开发非常具有挑战性,因为它们的快速飞行机动和由扑翼引起的大量振动和运动模糊。视觉传感器由于其体积、重量和能量消耗能力,在空中机器人感知中得到了广泛的应用。分析了扑翼机器人视觉传感器存在的问题和面临的挑战。评估了两种视觉传感器:单目相机和基于事件的相机。首先,对扑翼机器人集成不同传感器的优缺点进行了研究。其次,本文利用欧盟资助的GRIFFIN ERC项目开发的扑翼机进行实验,实验评估了扑翼频率对两个传感器的影响。
