Flying through Moving Gates without Full State Estimation

  • 基于比例导航律设计视觉控制算法,仅依赖单目视线测量
  • 在仿真与实测中均实现高速穿越移动门框,抗风和延迟能力强
  • 适合未知动态环境下的自主飞行任务,如救灾、快递配送

自主无人机竞速需要强大的感知、规划与控制能力,已成为自主敏捷飞行的基准测试场。现有方法通常假设赛道静态且已知地图,可进行离线时间最优轨迹规划,通过定位门框来减少视觉惯性里程计(VIO)漂移,或针对特定赛道训练学习型模型。然而,许多真实场景如灾害救援或送货任务需在未知动态环境中执行。为提升无人机竞速对未知环境和移动门框的鲁棒性,我们提出一种不依赖赛道地图或VIO的控制算法,仅利用单目对门框的视线测量。为此,采用比例导航律(PN),即使在门框运动或风扰下也能精准穿越门框。我们将基于PN的视觉控制问题建模为约束优化问题,并推导出闭式最优解。通过仿真与真实实验验证,该算法可在高速下稳定穿越移动门框,对不同门框运动模式、模型误差、风扰及延迟均具鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous drone racing requires powerful perception, planning, and control and has become a benchmark and test field for autonomous, agile flight. Existing work usually assumes static race tracks with known maps, which enables offline planning of time-optimal trajectories, performing localization to the gates to reduce the drift in visual-inertial odometry (VIO) for state estimation or training learning-based methods for the particular race track and operating environment. In contrast, many real-world tasks like disaster response or delivery need to be performed in unknown and dynamic environments. To make drone racing more robust against unseen environments and moving gates, we propose a control algorithm that operates without a race track map or VIO, relying solely on monocular measurements of the line of sight to the gates. For this purpose, we adopt the law of proportional navigation (PN) to accurately fly through the gates despite gate motions or wind. We formulate the PN-informed vision-based control problem for drone racing as a constrained optimization problem and derive a closed-form optimal solution. Through simulations and real-world experiments, we demonstrate that our algorithm can navigate through moving gates at high speeds while being robust to different gate movements, model errors, wind, and delays.
