空中操作将机器人作业拓展至以往难以抵达的空域。与传统带机械臂的飞行系统不同,可倾斜多旋翼可通过机架倾转直接生成六自由度力/力矩,实现高效移动与全向操作。本文提出一种基于力/力矩的可倾斜四旋翼设计分析与控制框架。研究表明,四旋翼配置在避免螺旋桨干涉与悬停效率间取得平衡,其零空间冗余对物理约束下穿越奇异构型至关重要。上置末端执行器可在几何间隙与可用力矩间实现良好权衡。为应对扰动,提出改进积分项补偿模型误差,并采用加速度估计算法估计外部力/力矩。基于上述发现,构建了集设计选择、奇异点处理与扰动补偿于一体的末端执行器中心非线性模型预测控制(NMPC)框架,可在自研可倾斜四旋翼上以100 Hz频率全程本地运行。真实实验验证了该框架在单自由度机械臂系统上实现力/力矩驱动的全向操作及奇异点穿越,涵盖90度步进翻滚、推白板和连续360度阀门转动等任务。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Aerial manipulation extends robotic operations to previously inaccessible aerial environments. Unlike arm-equipped aerial systems, tiltable-multirotors can directly generate six-degree-of-freedom wrenches through their flight bases, enabling both efficient movement and omnidirectional operation by tilting the thrust direction. This work presents a design analysis and a wrench-based control framework for tiltable-multirotors in aerial manipulation. We show that a four-rotor tiltable configuration provides a balance between interference-free propeller sizing and hovering efficiency across different attitudes, and its null-space redundancy is crucial for traversing singular configurations under physical constraints. We further show that an upward end-effector placement yields a favorable trade-off between geometric clearance and available wrench. To address disturbances, we propose a dual strategy consisting of a modified integral term for model error and an acceleration-based estimator for external wrenches. Building on these insights, we develop an effector-centric nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) framework that integrates design choices, singularity handling, and disturbance compensation into a unified formulation. The proposed framework runs fully onboard at 100 Hz on a custom-built tiltable-quadrotor. Real-world experiments, including a 90-deg step cartwheel rotation, whiteboard pushing, and continuous 360-deg valve turning, demonstrate the feasibility of wrench-based omnidirectional manipulation with singularity traversal on a one-DoF-per-arm tiltable-quadrotor.
