精确的动力学模型在实现四轴飞行器可靠控制中起着核心作用。经典系统辨识方法因其可解释性仍被广泛使用,但往往无法捕捉重要非线性效应,尤其在小型空中平台中这些效应更为显著。数据驱动方法提供了另一种视角,能更有效地表示复杂的非线性动态,但代价是可解释性下降且缺乏校准的不确定性估计。本文提出一种结合基于物理建模与数据驱动学习的混合框架,并显式考虑不确定性。首先采用预测误差法(PEM)识别物理模型,捕捉系统主要结构;剩余动态则通过高斯过程(GP)建模,直接从数据中学习残差行为。这种分离使已知物理效应与未建模动态得以区分。该框架在类似Duckiedrone的实验平台上验证,结果表明,PEM-GP模型的预测精度可与长短期记忆网络(LSTM)相当,同时提供校准的不确定性估计,提升了模型可靠性并支持不确定性感知决策。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate dynamic models play a central role in achieving reliable control of quadcopters. Classical system identification methods remain widely used, mainly because of their interpretability. However, they often fail to capture important nonlinear effects, especially in small-scale aerial platforms where such effects become more pronounced. Data-driven approaches offer a different perspective. They can represent complex nonlinear dynamics more effectively, but this comes at the cost of reduced interpretability and the absence of well-calibrated uncertainty estimates. In this work, we propose a framework that combines physics-based modeling with data-driven learning, while explicitly accounting for uncertainty. A physics-based model is first identified using the Prediction Error Method (PEM), which captures the main structure of the system. The remaining dynamics are then modeled using a Gaussian Process (GP), allowing the residual behavior to be learned directly from data. This separation makes it possible to distinguish between known physical effects and unmodeled dynamics. The proposed framework is validated on a Duckiedrone-like experimental setup. The results show that the PEM-GP model achieves prediction accuracy comparable to that of a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, while additionally providing calibrated uncertainty estimates. This combination improves model reliability and supports uncertainty-aware decision-making.
