Autonomous MAV Landing on a Moving Platform with Estimation of Unknown Turbulent Wind Conditions
This paper presents an autonomous landing of a micro aerial vehicle (MAV) on a moving platform immersed in turbulent wind conditions. We estimate the 3D wind vector acting on the vehicle using a model-based and a deep learning-based approach. A disturbance-aware boundary layer sliding controller the...

description | This paper presents an autonomous landing of a micro aerial vehicle (MAV) on a moving platform immersed in turbulent wind conditions. We estimate the 3D wind vector acting on the vehicle using a model-based and a deep learning-based approach. A disturbance-aware boundary layer sliding controller then uses this estimation to generate a control input that provides trajectory tracking guarantees in the presence of unknown, but bounded disturbances. The approach presented integrates our previous works on control and estimation, and we show its performance in a challenging setting. The experiments show that our methods enable fast landing on a moving platform in turbulent, unknown wind conditions. |
