Unmanned aerial vehicles are used today in many real-world applications. In all these applications, the vehicle endurance (flight time) is an important constraint that affects mission success. This study investigates the limitations of embedded energy for a quadrotor aerial vehicle. We consider a quadrotor simple tasked to travel from an initial hover configuration to a final hover configuration. In order to have a precise approximation of the consumed energy, we propose a power consumption model with battery dynamic, motor dynamic, and rotor efficiency function. We then introduce an optimization algorithm to minimize the energy consumption during quadrotor aerial vehicle mission. The proposed algorithm is based on an optimal control problem formulated for the quadrotor model and solved using nonlinear programming. In the optimal control problem, we seek to find control inputs (rotor velocity) and vehicle trajectory between initial and final configurations that minimize the consumed energy during a point-to-point mission. We extensively test in simulation experiments the proposed algorithm under normal and windy weather conditions. We compare the proposed optimization method with a nonlinear adaptive control approach to highlight the saved amount of energy.

This work presents a novel technique for the solution of an optimal input for trajectory tracking. Many researchers have documented the performance advantages of command shaping, which focuses on the design of an optimal input. Nearly all research in command shaping has been centered on the point-to-point motion control problem. However, tracking problems are also an important application of control theory. The proposed optimal tracking technique extends the point-to-point motion control problem to the solution of the tracking problem. Thus, two very different problems are brought into one solution scheme. The technique uses tolerances on trajectory following to meet constraints and minimize either maneuver time or input energy. A major advantage of the technique is that hard physical constraints such as acceleration or allowable tracking error can be directly constrained. Previous methods to perform such a task involved using various weightings that lack physical meaning. The optimal tracking technique allows for fast and efficient exploration of the solution space for motion control. A solution verification technique is presented and some examples are included to demonstrate the technique.

This paper presents kinematic and static analyses of an active-caster robotic drive with a single-layer ball transmission (ACROBAT-S). On the basis of the analyses, a single-wheel prototype is designed, and fundamental experiments using the prototype are conducted. The proposed ACROBAT-S includes a ball transmission that transmits power to a wheel axis and steering axis of an active-caster wheel in an appropriate ratio to produce so-called “caster motion.” The power distribution is realized mechanically rather than by complicated computer control algorithms. Therefore, the angle sensor for detecting the wheel orientation, and the control calculations for coordinated control of the wheel and steering motors of a conventional system are eliminated. Thus, the proposed mechanical design, which transfers a part of the control function to the mechanism, contributes to simplifying the overall control system. The results of the analyses and experiments with a prototype confirm that the proposed active-caster mechanism, ACROBAT-S, can realize the expected omnidirectional motion with simple motor control, such as Point-To-Point control.

Sliding mode control (SMC) is rapped for the chattering due to high gain control. However, high gain control causes the system robust. For developing a system with robustness of SMC, a servo motor motion controller combining the two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) system and SMC is proposed. The discussed motion type is point-to-point control with the constraint of trapezoid velocity profile. SMC is designed to guide the motor motion to follow a predefined trail, and the inner 2DOF system is used to compensate the deterioration due to the adoption of load observer. The proposed hybrid system is realized on a PC-based motion controller, and the validness is verified by simulation and experimental results.
