  • 通过时间缩放的直接多段射击法分割预测时域,提升数值稳定性。
  • 基于半定规划的凸松弛在仿真中实现最优解与高计算效率。
  • 适用于无人机等复杂环境下的实时路径规划,适合工程落地。

在自主车辆节能驾驶、四旋翼导航等应用中,快速准确求解受时空约束的最优控制问题至关重要。然而,由于动力学与事件触发时间耦合,近似该问题的非线性规划通常为非凸,难以求解。现有方法多通过预设航点时间或采用非凸轨迹优化简化问题,但常得次优解。本文提出一种时间缩放的直接多段射击法,将预测时域按特征时间约束分段;并开发基于半定规划的快速凸松弛方法,利用升维后表达式的稀疏结构。大量仿真实验验证了方案的解最优性与计算效率;真实四旋翼航点飞行实验在开放时间窗口约束下也证明了其在复杂环境中的实用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Solving optimal control problems (OCPs) of autonomous agents operating under spatial and temporal constraints fast and accurately is essential in applications ranging from eco-driving of autonomous vehicles to quadrotor navigation. However, the nonlinear programs approximating the OCPs are inherently nonconvex due to the coupling between the dynamics and the event timing, and therefore, they are challenging to solve. Most approaches address this challenge by predefining waypoint times or just using nonconvex trajectory optimization, which simplifies the problem but often yields suboptimal solutions. To significantly improve the numerical properties, we propose a formulation with a time-scaling direct multiple shooting scheme that partitions the prediction horizon into segments aligned with characteristic time constraints. Moreover, we develop a fast semidefinite-programming-based convex relaxation that exploits the sparsity pattern of the lifted formulation. Comprehensive simulation studies demonstrate the solution optimality and computational efficiency. Furthermore, real-world experiments on a quadrotor waypoint flight task with constrained open time windows validate the practical applicability of the approach in complex environments.
