  • 通过双轴倾斜构型提升故障后推力空间,无需故障检测即可自适应补偿偏差。
  • 仿真与实飞验证支持单个或多个电机失效下稳定悬停及六自由度轨迹跟踪。
  • 适合高可靠性飞行场景,如极端环境作业、空中书写和窄道穿越。

传统多旋翼在突发全电机失效时,可实现的力矩空间(AWS)会迅速坍缩,导致六自由度恢复物理上不可行。本文针对一种双轴倾斜过驱动六旋翼(BTO)在未知突发全电机失效下的被动容错飞行问题,设计并分析了典型失效情形下的控制方案。假设故障发生前控制器无任何故障信息,系统仍保持完全驱动能力。首先,扩展了AWS的内切球度量,引入瞬态力矩跃变项,可量化评估最多三台电机同时失效时的可行性,并与单轴倾斜及共面六旋翼对比。其次,提出两种计算高效的被动控制策略:一在控制器层,结合高阶完全驱动控制器与线性扩张状态观测器(LESO)以抑制扰动;二在分配层,采用基于动量的模型参考自适应控制分配,实现对控制分配偏移的补偿。仿真与飞行实验表明,在单机或多机失效情况下,系统仍可稳定悬停并完成六自由度轨迹跟踪。系统性对比确认BTO相比单轴倾斜与共面设计具有更大恢复裕度。进一步的仅依赖机载传感器实验包括:风扰下的室内追踪、极端条件下的室外追踪、窄框架穿越以及接触式空中书写,充分验证了该框架在复杂环境中的鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Conventional multirotors suffer from a rapid collapse of attainable wrench space (AWS) under abrupt total rotor failures, rendering full 6-DOF recovery physically impossible. This paper addresses passive fault-tolerant flight of a biaxial-tilt overactuated hexacopter (BTO) under abrupt total rotor failures that are a priori unknown to the controller. The control design and analysis focus on representative abrupt rotor-failure cases for which the post-failure system remains fully actuated, while no explicit fault detection, isolation, or fault-mode switching is assumed. First, we extend the inscribed-sphere metric of the AWS by incorporating the transient-wrench-jump term, enabling quantitative feasibility assessment under up to three simultaneous rotor failures and benchmarking against uniaxial-tilt and coplanar hexacopters. Second, we develop two computationally efficient passive schemes without relying on fault detection or online optimization. One scheme operates at the controller layer by combining a high-order fully actuated (HOFA) controller with a linear extended state observer (LESO) for lumped-disturbance rejection. The other scheme operates at the allocator layer by using model-reference adaptive control allocation with momentum-based wrench estimation to compensate for control-allocation biases. Simulations and flight experiments validate stable hovering and 6-DOF trajectory tracking under single and multiple rotor failures. Further systematic comparisons confirm that the BTO provides larger recovery margins than uniaxial-tilt and coplanar designs. Additional onboard-sensor-only experiments, including indoor tracking under wind disturbance, outdoor tracking under extreme conditions, narrow-frame traversal, and contact-based aerial writing, further validate the robustness of the proposed framework in complex operational environments.
