为无人机吊挂运输设计安全稳定的实时控制算法

SEP-NMPC: Safety Enhanced Passivity-Based Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for a UAV Slung Payload System

  • 基于能量耗散与阻尼调节的稳定性设计
  • 通过高阶屏障函数实现避障与悬摆安全
  • 可在线求解,适合复杂环境实时控制

模型预测控制(MPC)广泛应用于敏捷多旋翼飞行器,但在机下悬挂载荷时,同时保证稳定性和避障仍具挑战。本文提出一种安全增强型无源性非线性MPC(SEP-NMPC),为四旋翼在复杂环境中运输吊挂载荷提供形式化稳定与安全保证。通过嵌入由重构能量函数与自适应阻尼导出的严格无源不等式,系统可耗散多余能量并确保渐近收敛,即使载荷大幅摆动亦然。安全通过高阶控制屏障函数(HOCBFs)保障,使用户定义的避让区域保持前向不变,强制飞行器与摆动载荷在与静态及动态障碍交互时始终保持分离。优化问题保持二次规划兼容,可在每个采样时刻在线求解,无需增益调度或启发式切换。大量仿真与真实实验验证了该方法在所有测试场景下的稳定运输、无碰撞轨迹及实时可行性。因此,SEP-NMPC框架统一实现了基于无源性的闭环稳定与基于HOCBF的安全保证。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is widely adopted for agile multirotor vehicles, yet achieving both stability and obstacle-free flight is particularly challenging when a payload is suspended beneath the airframe. This paper introduces a Safety Enhanced Passivity-Based Nonlinear MPC (SEP-NMPC) that provides formal guarantees of stability and safety for a quadrotor transporting a slung payload through cluttered environments. Stability is enforced by embedding a strict passivity inequality, which is derived from a shaped energy storage function with adaptive damping, directly into the NMPC. This formulation dissipates excess energy and ensures asymptotic convergence despite payload swings. Safety is guaranteed through high-order control barrier functions (HOCBFs) that render user-defined clearance sets forward-invariant, obliging both the quadrotor and the swinging payload to maintain separation while interacting with static and dynamic obstacles. The optimization remains quadratic-program compatible and is solved online at each sampling time without gain scheduling or heuristic switching. Extensive simulations and real-world experiments confirm stable payload transport, collision-free trajectories, and real-time feasibility across all tested scenarios. The SEP-NMPC framework therefore unifies passivity-based closed-loop stability with HOCBF-based safety guarantees for UAV slung-payload transportation.
