Abstract:
Quadcopter is a kind of robot which is popularly used in both academic and industrial environment. In this paper, we present and implement a method to stabilize a quadcopter prototype’s position using feature extraction and tracking from camera footage. The quadcopter's position and linear velocity are determined from images which are captured by a downward-facing camera - Logitech C270. First, Shi-Tomasi technique is used to detect corners in the images and from this method, displacement of the quadcopter is yielded. Linear velocity is then calculated by using the quadcopter’s displacement. Once the linear velocity of the quadcopter has been estimated, the cascade PID controller is proposed to stabilize the hovering quadcopter’s position. Simulation results prove the ability of controlller on Matlab/Simulink. Then, a real quadcopter prototype is built to evaluate the proposed method and the experimental results recording in approximately 70 seconds show that the quadcopter remained its position with minimal error.

Abstract:
Quadcopters have become popular in various fields, such as environmental surveying, mapping, monitoring, and rescue operations. However, controlling the trajectory of a quadcopter remains a major challenge. In this article, we propose an adaptive PID control approach based on ROS (Robot Operating System) to control the motion of a quadcopter. We tested the proposed control model on a simulation platform and on a physical quadcopter system. Simulation results demonstrate better control capabilities than conventional PID control approaches. Additionally, the proposed control system successfully controlled the quadcopter accurately on multiple different trajectories in the physical system. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the adaptive PID control approach in tracking the quadcopter's trajectory with greater accuracy. Experiment results show that the proposed control system is highly suitable for more advanced quadcopter applications and allows for more accurate navigation.

Abstract:
Nowadays, quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are used in a wide variety of areas, such as reconnaissance and surveillance, firefighting, search and rescue, agricultural spraying, cargo transportation, photography, and mapping. The use of quadcopters in a very wide area makes their trajectory tracking control important. In order for quadcopters to perform their duties successfully, they must be able to follow the given trajectory with the least error. In this study, the quadcopter’s trajectory tracking under random noise is provided by an algorithm based on reinforcement learning and a proportional derivative (PD) controller. Modeling, simulations, and reinforcement learning algorithms were carried out using the MATLAB program. Simulations were made under noise for the x, y, z trajectories and roll, pitch, and yaw angles of the quadcopter. A detailed time response analysis was performed by obtaining rise time, overshoot, and settling time data. It has been observed that the references given were successfully followed thanks to the algorithm based on reinforcement learning.

Abstract:
UAVs or Drones are aircraft with no onboard pilot to control the flight. They are introduced in a few categories such as single-rotor, multi-rotors, fixed-wing, and hybrid VTOL. As for multirotor drones, quadcopters are the most well-known either commercially or in the research field. Due to its advantages, a quadcopter has been chosen to perform various tasks across various fields such as entertainment, military, meteorological reconnaissance, civil and emergency responses. As the demand for quadcopters has diverged, the required features of quadcopters have also diverged. One of the current features required by quadcopters is the ability to track trajectories. However, due to its nature of non-linearity, under-actuated and unstable, controlling quadcopter for an accurate and stable performance is quite a challenge. Despite the various proposed methods throughout the past decades, PID controller is still used as either the main controller or the base controller in most cases of industrial control, including quadcopter, mainly due to its simplicity and robustness. However, to design a proper PID controller for quadcopter system is a challenge as it defies the control inputs of four with its six degree-of-freedom form, in which six inputs are required to be controlled to ensure a stable and accurate flight. This paper derived a mathematically model of a quadcopter with Newton-Euler’s equation. Some assumptions on the body and structure of the quadcopter are taken into account to make the modelling possible. Then, a manually tuned PID controller is designed to achieve the objective of controlling the operation and stability of the quadcopter during its flight. The designed controller is tested with five different trajectories which are circular, square, lemniscate, zigzag, and spiral. The results show the proposed controller successfully tracks the desired trajectories, which prove PID controller can be used to control a quadcopter.

Abstract A mathematical model of the quadcopter motion control system has been developed. A new algorithm for controlling the movement of the quadcopter is proposed, which, in combination with sliding modes for controlling the position and direction of movement, ensures stable movement of the quadcopter in space. The simulation of the quadcopter motion control system on the MATLAB SIMULINK software was performed. The proposed algorithm for controlling the movement of the quadcopter ensures its steady movement as a single quadcopter along a given flight path in space in the presence of interference, and the movement of a group of quadcopters

Abstract:
The problem addressed in the present paper is the design of a controller based on an evolutionary neural network for autonomous flight in quadrotor systems. The controller’s objective is to govern the quadcopter in such a way that it reaches a specific position, bearing on attitude limitations during flight and upon reaching a target. Given the complex nature of quadcopters, an appropriate neural network architecture and a training algorithm were designed to guide a quadcopter toward a target. The designed controller was implemented as a single multi-layer perceptron. On the basis of the quadcopter’s current state, the developed neurocontroller produces the correct rotor speed values, optimized in terms of both attitude-limitation compliance and speed. The neural network training was completed using a custom evolutionary algorithm whose design put particular emphasis on the cost function’s definition. The developed neurocontroller was tested in simulation to drive a quadcopter to autonomously follow a complex path. The obtained simulated results show that the neurocontroller manages to effortlessly follow several types of paths with adequate precision while maintaining low travel times.

Abstract:
Quadcopters are widely used in a variety of military and civilian mission scenarios. Real-time online detection of the abnormal state of the quadcopter is vital to the safety of aircraft. Existing data-driven fault detection methods generally usually require numerous sensors to collect data. However, quadcopter airframe space is limited. A large number of sensors cannot be loaded, meaning that it is difficult to use additional sensors to capture fault signals for quadcopters. In this paper, without additional sensors, a Fault Detection and Identification (FDI) method for quadcopter blades based on airframe vibration signals is proposed using the airborne acceleration sensor. This method integrates multi-axis data information and effectively detects and identifies quadcopter blade faults through Long and Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network models. Through flight experiments, the quadcopter triaxial accelerometer data are collected for airframe vibration signals at first. Then, the wavelet packet decomposition method is employed to extract data features, and the standard deviations of the wavelet packet coefficients are employed to form the feature vector. Finally, the LSTM-based FDI model is constructed for quadcopter blade FDI. The results show that the method can effectively detect and identify quadcopter blade faults with a better FDI performance and a higher model accuracy compared with the Back Propagation (BP) neural network-based FDI model.

Abstract:
This research investigates and demonstrates the fundamental differences in performance and operation of both the cross and quadcopter configurations. The system's nonlinear dynamic model was first derived and implemented in Simulink for each quadcopter. The identical initial control values were applied for both quadcopters. The plus-configuration creates a yaw moment when a pitch or roll control input is supplied using multi-rotor controls; however, the cross-configuration decouples pitch and roll control from yaw. However, the plus-quad showed considerable instability while rotating with a pitch and rolling due to the self-generated residual rotation of the four rotors, which is small in the cross quadcopter, making it more maneuverability stable. The obtained results showed that both quadcopters consume the same energy amount.

Abstract:
Examensarbetets mål är att bygga en Quadcopter som kan flyga och styras via en radio-sändare i alla riktningar, stabilisera sig själv i luften, kunna landa autonomt och den skall även motverka krock i framåtgående riktning.För att uppnå grundmålet att kunna flyga så implementerades en PID-kontroller som används för att stabilisera Quadcoptern i luften genom att reglera motorer efter sensor-orientering. Denna sensororientering fås kombinera vinkeldata från en accelerometer och ett gyroskop.För att uppnå målet med autonom landning så användes en ultraljudssensor. En egen algoritm utvecklades för att läsa avstånd från marken. Avståndet från marken användes som grund för att skapa en egen algoritm för den autonoma landningen.Quadcoptern kan i slutprodukten stabilisera sig själv i luften, styras via radio och landa autonomt. Säkerhetsfunktioner som att aktivera autonom landning ifall Quadcoptern kommer utanför radions täckning är implementerade och även en brytare som stänger av motorerna. Det enda som inte implementerades var krocken i framåtgående riktning eftersom att en ultraljudssensor inte var lämpad för detta användningsområde.
The goal of the thesis is to build a quadcopter that can fly and be controlled via a radio transmitter in all directions, stabilizing itself in the air, to land autonomously and detect collisions in the forward direction.In order to achieve the basic goal of being able to fly, a PID controller was implemented which is used to stabilize the Quadcopter in the air by controlling the motors with help from sensor orientation. This sensor orientation is obtained from a complementary filter that merges angle data from an accelerometer and a gyroscope. Both an accelerometer and a gyroscope are required to automatically stabilize the Quadcopter in the air.To achieve the goal of autonomous landing an ultrasonic sensor was used. An algorithm was developed to read the distance from the ground which was a basis for creating our own algorithm for autonomous landing.The Quadcopter has the ability to stabilize itself in the air, be controlled via a radio transmitter and land autonomously. A safety feature that enables autonomous landing if the Quadcopter travels outside the radio coverage is implemented and also a switch that turns off the engines. The only thing that wasn’t implemented was the crash avoidance in the forward direction because the ultrasonic sensor was not suited for this application.

Abstract:
This thesis studies the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to perform ice managementin the Arctic Ocean by gathering information about and physically control the iceenvironment. Such a system is needed for safety reasons as marine operations aremoving further north. In order to gather information about the ice environment, aUAV will be used for surface mapping. The quadcopter Parrot AR. Drone 2.0 will be used as a testbed for implementing proposed strategies for guidance, navigation and control while doing surface mapping using a camera. A guidance and navigation system is designed and implemented using measurements from onboard sensors and the camera system OptiTrack, which is used to measure position, velocity and orientation of the quadcopter. Using these estimated states as parameters and inputs to a proportional-integral-derivative controller, the position will be controlled. Waypoints are calculated according to desired parameters provided by an operator. An autonomous guidance, navigation and control system that moves the drone in a search pattern inside a desired area requested by the operator, is the result of the designed surface mapping strategy. An algorithm that performs object detection and mapping is implemented for the onboard camera to be able to detect objects in the lab setup. Back-projection of a 2D pixel point to respective world coordinates is implemented. C++ is used for all modules.Sub modules are simulated in Matlab and Simulink before tested with the AR.Drone. Simulations and measurements from lab testing are compared for performance evaluation. Results for the overall implementation shows that a UAV platform for doing object mapping is indeed a concept to pursue. However, this lab setup would not be applicable in a real world experiment. The AR. Drone will, due to its weight and limited power, not be able to operate under heavy wind and weather conditions. Also, detection of ice is more complicated than the suggested implementation, due to factors like weather and light reflections. It should be clear that this system design is rather a prototype illustration of a concept than a system to be used.

Abstract:
In an electromechanical system hardware and software interoperate to perform a given task. Regardless of the task, it can be hard to know what level of complexity of components and software needed to perform well. Could you save on production costs by using cheaper sensors or is more expensive alternatives from well-known manufacturers needed? Does the control become simpler if you have more expensive sensors or is there always a need for advanced algorithms and filters? In this report a quadcopter controlled by two different sensors and two different filters has been investigated. The two filters that were compered consisted of a simple complementary filter and a more advanced Kalman filter. The quadcopter was used as an empirical test to see how varying amount of disturbances or less exact data from the sensors affect a real system. The results showed that the performance of the different sensors were quite similar, both in the area of raw data, calculated standard deviances and what was visually observable. With the constructed control system, the quadcopter was stabilizing around one axis with an accuracy of ±4° and the cheaper sensor actually recorded a lower standard deviance of the angle (1.624° compared to 1.754° for the more expensive sensor).
I ett system samspelar hårdvara och mjukvara för att tillsammans utföra önskad uppgift, men det kan vara svårt att veta vilken nivå på komponenter samt kod som krävs. Kan man spara in på produktionskostnader genom att använda billiga sensorer eller bör man investera i dyrare varianter från välkända tillverkare? Blir regleringen enklare om man investerar i en bra sensor eller behövs det alltid avancerade algoritmer och filter? I denna rapport presenteras resultaten från undersökningar av en quadcopter som reglerats med hjälp av två olika sensorer samt använt sig av två olika filter för att filtrera indatat. De två filtren som jämfördes var ett enkelt komplementärfilter och ett mer komplicerat Kalmanfilter. Quadcoptern användes som ett praktiskt test för att se hur mycket störningar eller mindre exakt data från sensorer påverkar ett verkligt system. Resultatet visade att prestandan för sensorerna blev väldigt snarlika, både gällande mätvärden, beräknade standardavvikelser och vad som var visuellt observerbart. Med den konstruerade regulatorn svängde quadcoptern (runt en axel) vid användandet av båda sensorerna mellan ±4° fast den billigare sensorn hade en något lägre standardavvikelse av vinkeln (1.624° jämfört med 1.754° för den dyrare).

Sim-to-Reality transfer in Reinforcement Learning is a promising approach ofsolving costly exploration in real systems, but it comes with the generalizationproblem of transferring policies from simulators to real systems. This thesislooks at ideas presented by Robust Markov Decision Processes, which combinesideas from Reinforcement Learning and Robust Control to create agentswith embedded uncertainty about the simulated environment, opting for pessimisticoptimization in order to handle potential gaps between simulators andreality. These ideas are adapted in order to apply it to a state-of-the-art DeepReinforcement Learning algorithm.The adaptations were tested on the task of positional control of a quadcopter,where agents were trained in a simple simulator and tested on versionsof the simulator with different environment parameters. Agents with higherlevel of robustness outperformed the standard agents in these environments,suggesting that the added robustness increases generality and can help whentransferring policies from simulators to reality.

There are many possible ways to perform the attitude control of a quadcopter and, recently, the subject of event-triggered control has become relevant in the scientic community. This thesis deals with the analysis and implementation of a saturating attitude controller for a quadcopter system, together with the derivation of an event-triggering rule to work with it. Two distinct rules are presented, one that ensures the stability of the closed loop system, the other, a linearised version that does not. The way those were derived consists in the use of a Lyapunov based approach. The stability of the system when under these rules was veried experimentally.

Abstract:
This project designed, constructed and implemented a novel quadcopter flight controller and remote. With the quadcopters’ popularity ever increasing, more people are making use of the advantages this machine can offer. From surf photographers to hobbyists, the quadcopter needs to be easy to setup, tune and relay information back to the operator to ensure safe flight. A functionality not found on today’s market. Components were chosen, tested and implemented to create a functioning quadcopter flight controller and remote system. Although the implementation is regarded as being successful, there are still some design changes that could improve the functionality of the system. Noise from altitude readings hampered the altitude hold functionality and as well as no method implemented to counter for the change in barometric pressure throughout the day. But with efficient code making use of hardware the hardware, there is still sufficient computational time left to implement signal filtering simply not available at the lower market end of commercial flight controllers. An additional $10 barometer could also solve the altitude creep as ground barometric pressure changes.

Abstract:
This study examines the acoustics in hover for manned-size, multi-rotor, eVTOL aircraft in a quadcopter configuration. The rotors on such larger aircraft could have collective pitch control allowing them to operate at a fixed rotational speed. This paper seeks to explore how the relative phasing between the rotors affects the acoustics. Quadcopters with three different rotors are considered: a baseline solidity σ rotor with number of blades N = 2, a 3σ rotor with number of blades N = 2, and a 3σ rotor with number of blades N = 5. The simulations use the Rensselaer Multicopter Analysis Code (RMAC) for the aerodynamic loads on the blades, coupled to an acoustic propagation code for noise predictions at observers in the plane of the quadcopter and at elevations of 30 deg and 60 deg (below the quadcopter). The starting phase of rotors 2, 3, and 4 are varied relative to rotor 1, resulting in 216 total phasing cases for each rotor. From the simulation results in this study, the range of variation in tonal noise (due to thickness and loading) was between 21-30 dB in overall sound pressure level (OASPL). If there is phase locking between rotors, for 2-bladed rotors orthogonal phasing was generally observed to produce low average noise, while tip-to-tip phasing produced higher averaged noise, but this observation did not hold for 5-bladed rotors. For high-solidity 2-bladed rotors, the unweighted OASPL from tonal noise (thickness and loading) is greater than that from broadband noise, especially in-plane and at low elevation angles. But for high-solidity 5-bladed rotors, OASPL from broadband noise was observed to be higher than from tonal noise.

Abstract:
The Shake-The-Box technique was applied to experimentally quantify the time-resolved volumetric flow field around a free-flying quadcopter UAV with an overall span of about 0.5 m. State-of-the-art LED illumination and high-speed camera equipment was combined with modern Lagrangian tracer particle tracking and data assimilation techniques, facilitating a measurement volume larger than 1.5m3. The setup allowed for both hover and limited maneuvering of the quadcopter, while resolving even small details of the complex interactional aerodynamics. In hover out of ground effect, the four individual rotor wakes merged into a single jet within a few rotor radii below the rotor planes. Evaluating the mass and momentum fluxes over suitable control volumes yields accurate estimates for the quadcopter's total thrust, the asymmetric thrust distribution between front and back rotors, and the entrainment of external flow through turbulent mixing. Hover in ground effect decreases the power requirement and induces recirculating flow in the center of the four rotors. The outwash pattern is non-uniform with jets developing between the rotors and pointing in radially outward directions. Forward flight cases result in a skewed, rapidly merging wake flanked by the roll-up of two "super-vortices" similar to the wingtip vortices of fixed-wing vehicles.

Abstract:
We propose the possibility of using an autonomous quadcopter in a construction setting to build meaningful structures. In this paper we demonstrate these ideas using a quadcopter tasked with carrying bricks to locations specified by a notional blueprint. In our demonstrations, the quadcopter carries a foam brick to a predetermined position and places it with respect to the other bricks to create a 2-dimensional structure as specified by the blueprint. Computer vision techniques are used to verify brick positions and motion capture is used to localize the quadcopter. A custom-built 3D printed pick up/drop mechanism is used to carry the brick from the initial point to the final point. We demonstrated that a variety of structures can be created autonomously in practice using a quadcopter. We measure performance in terms of positional correctness of the structure as measured by the lateral placement error and orientation angle error. This paper discusses the theoretical approach to path generation and control systems, computer vision algorithms, blueprint algorithms, and the pick-up and drop mechanism.

Full text
Abstract:
A non-linear control of a tilt-rotor quadcopter using sliding mode technique is presented in this paper. The tilt-rotor quadcopters are a novel class of quadcopters with a servo motor installed on each arm that enables the quadcopter’s rotors to tilt to a particular angle. Using these additional tilt angles, this type of a quadcopter can be used to achieve desired trajectories with faster maneuvering and can handle external disturbances better than a conventional quadcopter. In this paper, sliding mode control technique is utilized for the pitch, roll and yaw motions for the quadcopter while an independent PD controller provides the tilt angles to the servo motors. The dynamic model of the tilt-rotor quadcopter is presented, based on which sliding surfaces were designed to minimize the tracking errors. Using the control inputs derived from these sliding surfaces, the state variables converge to their desired values in finite-time. Further, the non-linear sliding surface coefficients are obtained by stability analysis. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the performance and robustness against disturbances of this proposed sliding mode control technique.

Abstract:
Tilt-rotor quadcopters are a novel class of quadcopters with a servo motor attached on each arm that assist the quadcopter’s rotors to tilt to a desired angle thereby enabling thrust vectoring. Using these additional tilt angles, this type of a quadcopter can be used to achieve desired trajectories with faster maneuvering and can handle external disturbances better than a conventional quadcopter. In this paper, a non-linear controller has been designed using sliding mode technique for the pitch, roll, yaw motions and the servo motor tilt angles of the quadcopter. The dynamic model of the tilt-rotor quadcopter is presented, based on which sliding surfaces were designed to minimize the tracking errors. Using the control inputs derived from these sliding surfaces, the state variables converge to their desired values in finite-time. Further, the non-linear sliding surface coefficients are obtained by stability analysis. The robustness of this proposed sliding mode control technique is shown when a faulty motor scenario is introduced. The quadcopter transforms into a T-copter design upon motor failure thereby abetting the UAV to cope up with the instabilities experienced in yaw, pitch and roll axes and still completing the flight mission. The dynamics of the T-copter design and the derivation of the switching surface coefficients for this reconfigurable system are also presented.

Abstract:
In this paper, the control maneuvering, and performance analysis of a tilting-rotor quadcopter during autonomous flight is presented. Unlike traditional quadcopters, a tilting-rotor quadcopter provides additional actuated controls as the propeller motors are actuated for tilt which can be utilized to improve efficiency of the aerial vehicle during flight. The tilting-rotor quadcopter design is accomplished by using an additional servo motor for each rotor that enables the rotor to tilt about the axis of quadcopter arm. Here, a detailed control strategy has been discussed to use the propeller tilts for position and orientation control during completely autonomous flights of the quadcopter. In conventional quadcopters, the variation in rotational speeds of the four propellers is utilized for maneuvering. This work incorporates use of varying propeller rotational speeds along with tilting of the propellers for maneuvering the quadcopter during flight. A PD controller is developed to achieve various modes of flight and numerical simulation results are presented demonstrating the performance of the controller. Furthermore, the performance of the tilt-rotor design is compared with respect to the conventional quadcopter in the presence of wind disturbances and uncertainties in the system.

Abstract:
As applications of quadcopters increase, the development of robust and reliable algorithms to control quadcopters are becoming more meaningful. In this work, we deal with the problem of losing one rotor in the quadcopter. Previous works rely on modeling the complex dynamics of quadcopter and apply some of the existing modern control techniques. In this work we propose to solve this problem using a model-based reinforcement learning framework in conjunction with a meta-learning approach, our main aim is to study solutions of complex dynamics and fast adaptation in challenging robot tasks such as flying a quadcopter only using three rotors.

Abstract:
Quadcopters have many applications and an efficient controller is needed for reference tracking and to maintain vehicle stability. Quadcopter tests may require expensive laboratory setup to include certain conditions such as wind, with adequate control and monitoring. In this paper a bench markmodel of quadcopter is implemented in Hardware-In-the-Loop, in order to test the quadcopter controller considering different conditions of wind. For experimental results, an LQT controller has been implemented in a DSP, while the quadcopter was implemented in the real-time simulator Typhoon HIL.
