Flying a Quadrotor with Unknown Actuators and Sensor Configuration
Till M. Blaha, Ewoud J. J. Smeur, Bart D. W. Remes +1
Though control algorithms for multirotor Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) are well understood, the configuration, parameter estimation, and tuning of flight control algorithms takes quit…
Control of Unknown Quadrotors from a Single Throw
Till M. Blaha, Ewoud J. J. Smeur, Bart D. W. Remes
This paper presents a method to recover quadrotor UAV from a throw, when no control parameters are known before the throw. We leverage the availability of high-frequency rotor spee…
AOSoar: Autonomous Orographic Soaring of a Micro Air Vehicle
Sunyou Hwang, Bart D. W. Remes, Guido C. H. E. de Croon
Utilizing wind hovering techniques of soaring birds can save energy expenditure and improve the flight endurance of micro air vehicles (MAVs). Here, we present a novel method for f…
Autonomous Control for Orographic Soaring of Fixed-Wing UAVs
Tom Suys, Sunyou Hwang, Guido C. H. E. de Croon +1
We present a novel controller for fixed-wing UAVs that enables autonomous soaring in an orographic wind field, extending flight endurance. Our method identifies soaring regions and…
