四旋翼在紧密编队中飞行极具挑战性,因其近场气流受螺旋桨影响复杂难表征。尽管机器学习可建模此类效应,但常存在样本效率低、泛化性差的问题。本文提出一种融合第一性原理建模与数据驱动方法的框架,构建精确且样本高效的编队空气动力学模型。该数据驱动部分轻量化,适配优化控制设计。通过仿真与物理实验验证,将模型嵌入新型学习型非线性模型预测控制(MPC)框架后,显著提升轨迹跟踪与抗扰性能。实际飞行中,平均轨迹误差降低40.1%,最大垂直间距误差减少57.5%;仅用46秒飞行数据完成跨仿真与实测训练,实现平均间距小于1.5个机身长度的紧密编队。视频演示见:https://youtu.be/Hv-0JiVoJGo

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Flying quadrotors in tight formations is a challenging problem. It is known that in the near-field airflow of a quadrotor, the aerodynamic effects induced by the propellers are complex and difficult to characterize. Although machine learning tools can potentially be used to derive models that capture these effects, these data-driven approaches can be sample inefficient and the resulting models often do not generalize as well as their first-principles counterparts. In this work, we propose a framework that combines the benefits of first-principles modeling and data-driven approaches to construct an accurate and sample efficient representation of the complex aerodynamic effects resulting from quadrotors flying in formation. The data-driven component within our model is lightweight, making it amenable for optimization-based control design. Through simulations and physical experiments, we show that incorporating the model into a novel learning-based nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) framework results in substantial performance improvements in terms of trajectory tracking and disturbance rejection. In particular, our framework significantly outperforms nominal MPC in physical experiments, achieving a 40.1% improvement in the average trajectory tracking errors and a 57.5% reduction in the maximum vertical separation errors. Our framework also achieves exceptional sample efficiency, using only a total of 46 seconds of flight data for training across both simulations and physical experiments. Furthermore, with our proposed framework, the quadrotors achieve an exceptionally tight formation, flying with an average separation of less than 1.5 body lengths throughout the flight. A video illustrating our framework and physical experiments is given here: https://youtu.be/Hv-0JiVoJGo
