▼ With the growing population the agricultural industry needs to find and implement new methods for enhancing food production. Using a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) in Precision Agriculture (PA) offers a large number of benefits such as enabling the farmer to create targeted strategies to increase crop yield, reduced waste and halt the spread of diseases. Despite these advantages, the use of MAVs, particularly in greenhouses, is still very limited. To this end, this thesis seeks to combine, improve and implement existing strategies to solve the persistent surveillance task for a swarm of MAVs operating in a greenhouse environment. Broadly speaking, the persistent surveillance task seeks to find the optimal paths for a swarm of MAVs such that every point within the Mission Space (MS) is visited and they must minimise the time between successive visits. This will ensure that the MAVs are able fly through the entire greenhouse to collect up-to-date data about all the crops and the local environment. Naturally, on a physical system one has to deal with the limited flight times of the MAVs. This factor becomes very important to the effectiveness of the solution and is critical to the continuous operation of the MAVs. In literature, many methods have be proposed to solve this task, but the majority are still only tested in simulation. As a result, many works do not consider some physical constraints that will be applied to the system during implementation in a real-world setting. For example, in most cases the authors do not consider the limited fuel available to the agents or they do not consider a practical alternative indoor positioning system to GPS. In this work the problem has been divided into two main sub-tasks, namely; the persistent surveillance task and the refuelling task. For the persistent surveillance task it was decided to implement a reactive controller, in the form of an evolved Neural Network (NN), which was run on-board the MAVs. The NN used positional information from the other members of the swarm along with limited environmental information to supply its MAV with a command velocity. These NN controllers could achieve coverage levels of over 95% while simultaneously avoiding collisions between 8 MAVs in a 25m x 25m MS. Later, this method was shown to be robust to failures and scalable in terms of both MS and swarm size. When dealing with the fuel constraints, a Behaviour Tree (BT) was used to determine when the MAV should return to the depot. Surprisingly, when combined with the NN controllers the system experienced an increase in performance across all the defined metrics. No MAV failed due to low fuel levels, coverage increased to 97.41%, average cell age to 52.39s and the number of tests were no collisions were recorded more than doubled. This increase in performance was attributed to the fact that the refuelling periodically drew the MAV towards the centre of the MS. This is counter to the evolved behaviours of the NN where the MAVs would mainly focus their attention around the edges of… Advisors/Committee Members: Keviczky, Tamas (mentor), de Croon, Guido (mentor), Coppola, Mario (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have received an increasing amount of attention recently with many applications being actively investigated across the globe, and several related open research questions being actively pursued. Possible applications include search and rescue, disaster relief, environmental monitoring and surveillance, transportation, and construction. Transportation of cable suspended payloads using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is one such application which is the topic of this research. Autonomous transportation of objects using UAV can contribute to the safe and reliable supply of food and medicine in remote or disaster-affected areas and even in commercial delivery of goods. The state-of-the-art approaches towards the slung load transportation either develop non-linear feedback control laws to stabilize the system to a predefined trajectory or employ open loop off-line trajectory planning schemes to generate optimal control inputs to the system. Most of these techniques often rely on availability of an accurate model of the system backed up with simulation results. Very few results exist which target experimental validation of the proposed method. Based on the findings of the previously conducted literature survey, it appears that the application of closed loop on-line trajectory generation and control schemes to transport a slung payload in swing free manner remains unanswered. The work in this thesis sets off to answer the research questions in this direction and address the issues that come along with experimental validation. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a promising framework, which provides the means to tackle both the trajectory generation problem and the feedback control problem in an unified manner. As a result, it forms the most important component of this thesis. Specific research problem that is addressed in this thesis is to transport a cable suspended load using quadrotor from one point to another, while minimizing the swing through the use of Linear Time Invariant MPC techniques. A non-linear dynamic model for the quadrotor-slung load system is obtained and the structure within the system dynamics is exploited to decide the control strategy. Two different MPC formulations viz. MPC with integral action and MPC with delta-u formulation are simulated and compared to Linear Quadratic control with integral action which acts as a benchmark controller. Backed with simulation results, it is shown through experimental validation that it is possible to control the swing of cable suspended load using linear control techniques. MPC being an computationally expensive task, state-of-the-art fast optimization solvers such as FORCES PRO is used to achieve on-line implementation of MPC for the quadrotor-slung load system. To this end, a new software framework for implementation of MPC is developed which establishes a wireless link with the quadrotor resulting in a real-time networked control loop.

▼

A new visual registration algorithm (Adaptive Iterative Closest Keypoint, AICK) is tested and evaluated as a positioning tool on a Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV). Captured frames from a Kinect like RGB-D camera are analyzed and an estimated position of the MAV is extracted. The hope is to find a positioning solution for GPS-denied environments. This thesis is focused on an indoor office environment. The MAV is flown manually, capturing in-flight RGB-D images which are registered with the AICK algorithm. The result is analyzed to come to a conclusion if AICK is viable or not for autonomous flight based on on-board positioning estimates. The result shows potential for a working autonomous MAV in GPS-denied environments, however there are some surroundings that have proven difficult. The lack of visual features on e.g., a white wall causes problems and uncertainties in the positioning, which is even more troublesome when the distance to the surroundings exceed the RGB-D cameras depth range. With further work on these weaknesses we believe that a robust autonomous MAV using AICK for positioning is plausible.

En ny visuell registreringsalgoritm (Adaptive Iterative Closest Keypoint, AICK) testas och utvärderas som ett positioneringsverktyg på en Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV). Tagna bilder från en Kinect liknande RGB-D kamera analyseras och en approximerad position av MAVen beräknas. Förhoppningen är att hitta en positioneringslösning för miljöer utan GPS förbindelse, där detta arbete fokuserar på kontorsmiljöer inomhus. MAVen flygs manuellt samtidigt som RGB-D bilder tas, dessa registreras sedan med hjälp av AICK. Resultatet analyseras för att kunna dra en slutsats om AICK är en rimlig metod eller inte för att åstadkomma autonom flygning med hjälp av den uppskattade positionen. Resultatet visar potentialen för en fungerande autonom MAV i miljöer utan GPS förbindelse, men det finns testade miljöer där AICK i dagsläget fungerar undermåligt. Bristen på visuella särdrag på t.ex. en vit vägg inför problem och osäkerheter i positioneringen, ännu mer besvärande är det när avståndet till omgivningen överskrider RGB-D kamerornas räckvidd. Med fortsatt arbete med dessa svagheter är en robust autonom MAV som använder AICK för positioneringen rimlig.

▼ Due to the hover capability of rotary wing Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs), it is of interest to improve their aerodynamic performance, and hence hover endurance (or payload capability). In this research, a shrouded rotor conguration is studied and implemented, that has the potential to oer two key operational benets: enhanced system thrust for a given input power, and improved structural rigidity and crashworthiness of an MAV platform. The main challenges involved in realising such a system for a lightweight craft are: design of a lightweight and stiff shroud, and increased sensitivity to external flow disturbances that can affect flight stability. These key aspects are addressed and studied in order to assess the capability of the shrouded rotor as a platform of choice for MAV applications. A fully functional shrouded rotor vehicle (disk loading 60 N/m<super>2<\super>) was designed and constructed with key shroud design variables derived from previous studies on micro shrouded rotors. The vehicle weighed about 280 g (244 mm rotor diameter). The shrouded rotor had a 30% increase in power loading in hover compared to an unshrouded rotor. Due to the stiff, lightweight shroud construction, a net payload benefit of 20-30 g was achieved. The different components such as the rotor, stabilizer bar, yaw control vanes and the shroud were systematically studied for system efficiency and overall aerodynamic improvements. Analysis of the data showed that the chosen shroud dimensions was close to optimum for a design payload of 250 g. Risk reduction prototypes were built to sequentially arrive at the nal conguration. In order to prevent periodic oscillations in flight, a hingeless rotor was incorporated in the shroud. The vehicle was successfully flight tested in hover with a proportional-integral-derivative feedback controller. A flybarless rotor was incorporated for efficiency and control moment improvements. Time domain system identification of the attitude dynamics of the flybar and flybarless rotor vehicle was conducted about hover. Controllability metrics were extracted based on controllability gramian treatment for the flybar and flybarless rotor. In edgewise gusts, the shrouded rotor generated up to 3 times greater pitching moment and 80% greater drag than an equivalent unshrouded rotor. In order to improve gust tolerance and control moments, rotor design optimizations were made by varying solidity, collective, operating RPM and planform. A rectangular planform rotor at a collective of 18 deg was seen to offer the highest control moments. The shrouded rotor produced 100% higher control moments due to pressure asymmetry arising from cyclic control of the rotor. It was seen that the control margin of the shrouded rotor increased as the disk loading increased, which is however deleterious in terms of hover performance. This is an important trade-off that needs to be considered. The flight performance of the vehicle in terms of edgewise gust disturbance rejection was tested in a series of bench top and free flight tests.… Advisors/Committee Members: Chopra, Inderjit (advisor).

▼ Flapping wing propulsion has the potential to revolutionise the field of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), but little is known about the effect of flapping motion on the performance of flapping wings. Prototype MAVs have achieved flight with passive flapping wings moving in a sinusoidal flapping motion, but the possible benefits of alternative flapping motions have not been studied in detail.This thesis presents the development of an Integrated Testing System (ITS), which allows the evaluation of flapping wing performance for different flapping motions. A detailed parametric study of the effect of flapping motion on wing performance is performed, and the optimal flapping motion for several passive flapping wings is determined by hardware-in-the-loop optimisation of two wing performance metrics.The developed ITS was able to automatically test a variety of passive flapping wings, and demonstrated precise control of the flapping motion and accurate and repeatable measurements of average lift force, mechanical power, and wing twist angle. The parametric study revealed that of the three flapping motions tested, the sinusoidal flapping motion generated the highest lift force, but a smoothed triangular motion was able to generate lift significantly more efficiently under load. The optimal flapping motion was successfully determined for three flapping wings, and was found to increase the loaded efficiency of the wings by an average of 31% over a sinusoidal flapping motion. The determined optimal motion was almost identical for the three tested wings, and was found to strongly resemble the flapping motion of insectsThese findings demonstrate that significant improvements in the performance of passive flapping wings can be achieved by relatively minor variations of the flapping motion. This increased understanding will ideally lead to more efficient flapping wing MAVs with higher payloads, longer flight times, and improved performance.
