在城市或室内近墙环境中,四旋翼无人机的稳定运行受未建模气动效应挑战,壁面靠近会引发复杂涡流,产生破坏性吸力,导致剧烈振动或碰撞。本文提出综合解决方案:(1) 建立基于物理的吸力模型,明确吸力与电机转速和墙距的关系;(2) 设计吸力补偿型模型预测控制(SC-MPC)框架,实现近墙飞行时精准稳定的轨迹跟踪。该框架将改进的动力学模型作为因子图优化问题,融合系统动力学约束、轨迹跟踪目标、控制输入平滑性及执行器物理限制。吸力模型参数通过多种工况下的实验测量系统标定。实验验证表明,SC-MPC在X轴位置控制上达到2.1 cm均方根误差(RMSE),Y轴为2.0 cm RMSE,相比级联PID控制分别提升74%和79%,相比标准MPC提升60%和53%;平均绝对误差(MAE)分别为1.2 cm(X轴)和1.4 cm(Y轴),同样优于两类基线。评估平台采用涵道式四旋翼设计,在保障抗撞能力的同时维持气动效率。为促进复现与社区应用,完整实现已开源,地址:https://anonymous.4open.science/r/SC-MPC-6A61。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The safe operation of quadrotors in near-wall urban or indoor environments (e.g., inspection and search-and-rescue missions) is challenged by unmodeled aerodynamic effects arising from wall-proximity. It generates complex vortices that induce destabilizing suction forces, potentially leading to hazardous vibrations or collisions. This paper presents a comprehensive solution featuring (1) a physics-based suction force model that explicitly characterizes the dependency on both rotor speed and wall distance, and (2) a suction-compensated model predictive control (SC-MPC) framework designed to ensure accurate and stable trajectory tracking during wall-proximity operations. The proposed SC-MPC framework incorporates an enhanced dynamics model that accounts for suction force effects, formulated as a factor graph optimization problem integrating system dynamics constraints, trajectory tracking objectives, control input smoothness requirements, and actuator physical limitations. The suction force model parameters are systematically identified through extensive experimental measurements across varying operational conditions. Experimental validation demonstrates SC-MPC's superior performance, achieving 2.1 cm root mean squared error (RMSE) in X-axis and 2.0 cm RMSE in Y-axis position control - representing 74% and 79% improvements over cascaded proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, and 60% and 53% improvements over standard MPC respectively. The corresponding mean absolute error (MAE) metrics (1.2 cm X-axis, 1.4 cm Y-axis) similarly outperform both baselines. The evaluation platform employs a ducted quadrotor design that provides collision protection while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency. To facilitate reproducibility and community adoption, we have open-sourced our complete implementation, available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/SC-MPC-6A61.
