  • 扩展动态窗口法至六自由度,结合体素地图与球形几何简化。
  • 控制周期稳定在0.2秒内,路径跟踪误差小于0.1米,转向误差约13度。
  • 自适应敏捷模式提升未知障碍应对能力,适合高动态飞行场景。

自主无人机在复杂环境中运行时,全局规划方法如RRT*难以满足控制频率需求。本文针对全向多旋翼无人机提出一种实时局部规划与避障模块,将动态窗口法扩展至六自由度(6D-DWA)。通过局部地图体素化、紧凑的球形车辆几何近似及六维搜索空间的自适应速度采样,实现高效实时性。为增强对未知障碍的响应能力,引入上下文感知的“敏捷模式”,在线调整评分权重以平衡目标推进、安全距离与朝向约束。在仿真中评估了计算压力测试、密集航点路径追踪及静态/未知障碍场景。结果表明,该规划器稳定运行于0.2秒控制周期内,路径跟踪平均横移误差低于0.1米,平均航向误差为13度,静态环境下可完全避障;对于偏心未知障碍,成功率达79.3%;中心障碍则为41.4%,凸显自适应权重的有效性,也揭示在高度受限几何下的局限性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) increasingly operate in cluttered environments where global planners such as RRT* are not directly deployable at control rates. This paper presents a real-time local planning and obstacle avoidance module for an omnidirectional multirotor (omnicopter) by extending the Dynamic Window Approach to six degrees of freedom (6D-DWA). Our method achieves real-time feasibility through (i) local-map voxelisation, (ii) a compact sphere-based approximation of the vehicle geometry, and (iii) adaptive velocity sampling in the 6D search space. To improve reactivity to unknown obstacles, we introduce a context-aware "Agile Mode" that adjusts scoring weights online to trade-off between goal progress, clearance, and heading/facing constraints during evasive manoeuvres. We evaluate our approach in simulation across computational stress tests, dense-waypoint path tracking, and static/unknown obstacle scenarios. Our planner runs consistently within a 0.2s control loop, tracks waypoint-dense global paths with < 0.1m average cross-track error and 13deg average heading error, and avoids collisions in static environments. For unknown obstacle avoidance, Agile Mode achieves 79.3% success for an off-centre obstacle and 41.4% for a centred obstacle, highlighting both the effectiveness of adaptive weighting and remaining limitations in highly constrained geometries.
