Surrogate Modeling of Optimal Control Based Collision Avoidance System for Multirotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
collision avoidance, polynomial chaos expansion,
multi-rotor vehicle, successive convexification
A dynamically changing operating environment, along with constraints imposed
through applicable safety requirements, pose significant challenges to autonomous
multi-rotor manned and unmanned aerial vehicle operations in urban areas.
Safety-critical onboard collision avoidance capability requires fast decision
making accounting for uncertainties arising in complex environments. Successive
convexification approach is applied to generate collision avoidance trajectories
assuming both static and moving obstacles. The uncertainties arising in estimated
state of moving obstacles are accounted for by construction of Polynomial Chaos
Expansion based surrogate model. The obtained surrogate model can be evaluated in
real-time to update the collision avoidance trajectory in case of change of
tracked obstacle's state. The designed trajectories are subsequently tracked
using a closed-loop Model Predictive Control scheme assuming a quadcopter
configuration.
