Robust Variable-Horizon MPC for Landing a Multirotor UAV on a Moving Platform
Sander Doodeman, Niels Berkers, Paula Chanfreut +2
Landing a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) on a moving platform is challenging because a UAV is underactuated and the desired landing state is generally a non-equilibrium s…
Onboard Wind-Preview Model Predictive Control Using Pitot-Static Sensing for Multirotor UAVs
Bas Meere, Eline Wisse, Laurens Vousten +4
Effective wind gust rejection and stable hovering are critical for the outdoor operation of autonomous drones. However, existing gust rejection methods are primarily reactive, infe…
Semantic SLAM in Precision Agriculture using Bayesian Inference
Ruben Beumer, Sander Doodeman, René van de Molengraft +1
This paper presents a real-time semantic world modeling framework specialized for precision agriculture using autonomous robots. The framework combines probabilistic mapping of obj…
Zero Dynamics Stability of a Multirotor UAV with a Heavy Payload
Sander Doodeman, Paula Chanfreut Palacio, Elena Torta +1
This paper studies the zero dynamics stability of a multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) carrying a rigidly attached heavy payload. In particular, we focus on controlling the p…
Leader-Follower Formation Tracking Control of Quadrotor UAVs Using Bearing Measurements
S. Doodeman, Z. Tang, M. Jacinto +2
This work addresses the practical problem of distributed formation tracking control of a group of quadrotor vehicles in a relaxed sensing graph topology with a very limited sensor…
