機体中心ではない動的着陸：クアッドロータUAVの地上主導着陸手法

原文アブストラクト

In this work, we propose a dynamic landing solution without the need for onboard exteroceptive sensors and an expensive computation unit, where all localization and control modules are carried out on the ground in a non-inertial frame. Our system starts with a relative state estimator of the aerial robot from the perspective of the landing platform, where the state tracking of the UAV is done through a set of onboard LED markers and an on-ground camera; the state is expressed geometrically on manifold, and is returned by Iterated Extended Kalman filter (IEKF) algorithm. Subsequently, a motion planning module is developed to guide the landing process, formulating it as a minimum jerk trajectory by applying the differential flatness property. Considering visibility and dynamic constraints, the problem is solved using quadratic programming, and the final motion primitive is expressed through piecewise polynomials. Through a series of experiments, the applicability of this approach is validated by successfully landing 18 cm x 18 cm quadrotor on a 43 cm x 43 cm platform, exhibiting performance comparable to conventional methods. Finally, we provide comprehensive hardware and software details to the research community for future reference.
