Uniform Passive Fault-Tolerant Control of a Quadcopter with One, Two, or Three Rotor Failure
Chenxu Ke, Kai-Yuan Cai, Quan Quan
This study proposes a uniform passive fault-tolerant control (FTC) method for a quadcopter that does not rely on fault information subject to one, two adjacent, two opposite, or th…
Differential Flatness of Lifting-Wing Quadcopters Subject to Drag and Lift for Accurate Tracking
Shuai Wang, Wenhan Gao, Quan Quan
In this paper, we propose an effective unified control law for accurately tracking agile trajectories for lifting-wing quadcopters with different installation angles, which have th…
Distributed Control within a Trapezoid Virtual Tube Containing Obstacles for Robotic Swarms Subject to Speed Constraints
Yan Gao, Chenggang Bai, Quan Quan
In our previous work, we design a trapezoid virtual tube to guide robotic swarms through narrow openings. This paper extends the application of the trapezoid virtual tube to the si…
OA-Bug: An Olfactory-Auditory Augmented Bug Algorithm for Swarm Robots in a Denied Environment
Siqi Tan, Xiaoya Zhang, Jingyao Li +4
Searching in a denied environment is challenging for swarm robots as no assistance from GNSS, mapping, data sharing, and central processing is allowed. However, using olfactory and…
Distributed Control for a Multi-Agent System to Pass through a Connected Quadrangle Virtual Tube
Yan Gao, Chenggang Bai, Quan Quan
In order to guide the multi-agent system in a cluttered environment, a connected quadrangle virtual tube is designed for all agents to keep moving within it, whose basis is called…
Reliable Flight Control: Gravity-Compensation-First Principle
Quan Quan
Safety is always the priority in aviation. However, current state-of-the-art passive fault-tolerant control is too conservative to use; current state-of-the-art active fault-tolera…
Control with Patterns: A D-learning Method
Quan Quan, Kai-Yuan Cai, Chenyu Wang
Learning-based control policies are widely used in various tasks in the field of robotics and control. However, formal (Lyapunov) stability guarantees for learning-based controller…
Robust Distributed Control within a Curve Virtual Tube for a Robotic Swarm under Self-Localization Drift and Precise Relative Navigation
Yan Gao, Chenggang Bai, Quan Quan
To guide the movement of a robotic swarm in a corridor-like environment, a curve virtual tube with no obstacle inside is designed in our previous work. This paper generalizes the c…
