Ground-Effect-Aware Modeling and Control for Multicopters
Tiankai Yang, Kaixin Chai, Jialin Ji +3
The ground effect on multicopters introduces several challenges, such as control errors caused by additional lift, oscillations that may occur during near-ground flight due to exte…
Fast Iterative Region Inflation for Computing Large 2-D/3-D Convex Regions of Obstacle-Free Space
Qianhao Wang, Zhepei Wang, Mingyang Wang +7
Convex polytopes have compact representations and exhibit convexity, which makes them suitable for abstracting obstacle-free spaces from various environments. Existing generation m…
Primitive-Swarm: An Ultra-lightweight and Scalable Planner for Large-scale Aerial Swarms
Jialiang Hou, Xin Zhou, Neng Pan +5
Achieving large-scale aerial swarms is challenging due to the inherent contradictions in balancing computational efficiency and scalability. This paper introduces Primitive-Swarm,…
Safe and Agile Transportation of Cable-Suspended Payload via Multiple Aerial Robots
Yongchao Wang, Junjie Wang, Xiaobin Zhou +3
Transporting a heavy payload using multiple aerial robots (MARs) is an efficient manner to extend the load capacity of a single aerial robot. However, existing schemes for the mult…
LF-3PM: a LiDAR-based Framework for Perception-aware Planning with Perturbation-induced Metric
Kaixin Chai, Long Xu, Qianhao Wang +3
Just as humans can become disoriented in featureless deserts or thick fogs, not all environments are conducive to the Localization Accuracy and Stability (LAS) of autonomous robots…
Skater: A Novel Bi-modal Bi-copter Robot for Adaptive Locomotion in Air and Diverse Terrain
Junxiao Lin, Ruibin Zhang, Neng Pan +2
In this letter, we present a novel bi-modal bi-copter robot called Skater, which is adaptable to air and various ground surfaces. Skater consists of a bi-copter moving along its lo…
