Recently, the research group of Assistant Professor Zhu Yixin of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence of Peking University published a paper "Downwash-Aware Control Allocation for Overactuated UAV Platforms" at IROS 2022, introducing a control strategy
Overdrive drone platform based on multiple quadcopters and passive degrees of freedom mechanism
Because of its dexterity and simplicity, drones have been attracting the attention of
Down-wash effects (Chinese can be translated as airflow erosion phenomena) during multi-machine collaboration have been a concern for researchers in the field
What is the phenomenon of airflow erosion between drones? We can think of the airflow generated by the quadcopter drone as it flies as a cylindrical airflow field
Much of the existing research on drone Down-wash effects has focused on
The phenomenon of airflow erosion affects the drone flight below
The phenomenon of airflow erosion interferes with the drive drone's flip
Unlike existing research, this study is the first to target Down-wash effects on overdriven drone platforms
An overdrive drone platform consisting of several omnidirectional thrust modules can have an infinite number of control allocation schemes to generate the same wrench command.
Intuitively, if you want the airflow between the various drone modules not to wash over each other, you only need to tilt the modules in different directions and avoid each other
The researchers conducted experiments in both the simulation environment and the actual environment to verify the effectiveness
Traditional methods as well as control allocation are compared on a platform with four omnidirectional thrust modules
Traditional methods as well as control allocation are compared on a platform with six omnidirectional thrust modules
It can be clearly seen that using traditional control algorithms, Down-wash effects will be encountered in some positions, at which point the drone platform will have a noticeable vertical fall
The traditional method, along with control allocation, was experimentally validated on a drone platform with four omnidirectional thrust modules
The actual experimental phenomena are the same as the simulation results, which supports the control algorithm
Control the effect comparison under different adjustment thresholds in Omin cases
It should be noted that the control algorithm proposed in this study can be used for overdriven UAV platforms with any number of quadcopter modules, so it has strong scalability
In this work, the control algorithm proposed by the researchers cleverly balances the Down-wash effects that drive the drone platform and the thrust efficiency
