Description

Multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle formation anti-collision control method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, and particularly relates to a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle formation anti-collision control method.
Background
In recent years, multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles are widely applied to the fields of military affairs, rescue, exploration, aerial photography and the like, the cooperative work of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles has higher working efficiency, and the dynamic anti-collision during the cooperative work of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles in formation also becomes a problem to be solved urgently.
The traditional unmanned aerial vehicle anti-collision algorithm is only suitable for static environments, and the situation of dynamic obstacles is not considered, however, in order to ensure the safety of the collaborative work of the formation of the unmanned aerial vehicles, the dynamic anti-collision of the formation of the unmanned aerial vehicles during flying must be considered, and therefore the invention provides a dynamic anti-collision method for the formation of the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles.
The unmanned aerial vehicle anti-collision method can be divided into cooperative anti-collision and non-cooperative anti-collision, wherein the cooperative anti-collision needs to share speed, position and route information in the anti-collision process, and formation anti-collision is realized through cooperative control. The non-cooperative collision avoidance situation is more complex, information such as speed, position, altitude and the like of other aircrafts needs to be acquired by means of sensors, unmanned aerial vehicle performance constraints and uncertainty of invading aircrafts need to be considered, and a dynamic planning method needs to be adopted to solve the real-time collision avoidance problem.
The unmanned aerial vehicle dynamic anti-collision method mainly comprises a geometric method, an artificial potential field method, a collision cone method, a random theory and the like. However, these methods do not effectively take into account constraints such as drone speed constraints, turn rate constraints, control input constraints, etc. Optimization-based methods can handle constraints and have proven to be one of the more successful methods to solve the formation control problem, and optimization-based methods commonly used in the field of unmanned aerial vehicle collision avoidance are Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) methods.
NMPC is a feedback control method that solves for an optimized trajectory at each sampling instant, selects the first control input of the optimal sequence, and repeats the optimization in each subsequent step. The method can effectively overcome adverse factors such as model precision errors and the like, determines the current optimal control value through online feedback correction, and simultaneously ensures that the controlled object has good stability. However, the NMPC method has the problem of high calculation cost, and the execution efficiency of the algorithm cannot meet the requirement of rapid real-time collision prevention under the condition of formation of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles.
In short, the existing NMPC method has a great room for improvement in real-time performance.

Detailed Description
For a better understanding of the present invention, the following examples are given to illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
A multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle formation anti-collision control method is combined with a self-learning real-time algorithm and a multi-step optimization search algorithm of model prediction control, and the multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle formation anti-collision problem is converted into a rolling optimization problem, so that the formation anti-collision problem is solved based on a nonlinear model prediction control method.
The method comprises the following steps:
(1) sensing the spatial situation of a plurality of sensors;
(2) modeling unmanned aerial vehicle kinematics;
(3) NMPC model predictive control;
(4) optimizing rolling;
(5) detecting a collision;
(6) and (4) avoiding collision.
The multi-sensor in the step (1) comprises a DSP (digital Signal processor) main control chip, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer, a Beidou Signal receiver, a frequency modulation continuous wave radar and an altimeter, and the multi-sensor is used for acquiring navigation attitude, altitude, position and other information of other aircrafts in a local machine and an airspace.
The airspace situation perception in the step (1) is to process information acquired by the multiple sensors to obtain the speed, the acceleration, the flight height and the radial distance of each aircraft in the airspace, further establish a three-dimensional space coordinate with the own aircraft as a center, and perceive and position the invading aircraft and the barrier.
The unmanned aerial vehicle kinematics modeling in the step (2) is that kinematics equations of a local machine and an invasive aircraft are established in a three-dimensional coordinate system, and the local machine and the invasive aircraft use particle description in a three-dimensional space; the three-dimensional coordinate system includes navigation coordinate system and carrier coordinate system, navigation coordinate system adopts northeast heaven (ENU) coordinate system, carrier coordinate system links firmly with the unmanned aerial vehicle organism, and the coordinate system accords with the right-hand rule, and the initial point is located the organism focus, and the directional organism right side of X axle, the directional aircraft nose advancing direction of Y axle, the directional organism top of Z axle.
The NMPC model predictive control in the step (3) is a multivariable control strategy aiming at a nonlinear system, and consists of a predictive model, rolling optimization and feedback correction. The NMPC method solves an open-loop optimization problem of a finite time domain at each sampling moment according to the information currently measured by the system to obtain a control sequence, acts the first element of the control sequence on the system, repeats the operation at the next sampling moment, and uses a new measured value as the initial condition of the NMPC system to solve a new optimization problem. The NMPC method can effectively improve model precision errors, and the optimal control value of the system is determined through feedback correction and finite time domain rolling optimization, so that the system is guaranteed to have good stability.
And (4) the prediction model in the step (3) is used for predicting the output of a period of time in the future by the system by using the current state of the controlled object and future control information.
The rolling optimization in the step (3) is essentially to solve the open loop optimization of the system, and the optimal control rate of the future finite time domain is solved through the optimization of a certain performance index.
The feedback correction in the step (3) is to perform correction optimization on the system based on the prediction output of the model, use the target performance function and the system constraint condition, take the first element of the output sequence as the input value of the control system at the next moment, correct the prediction model through error feedback, and improve the prediction precision.
The rolling optimization in the step (4) is the core of the NMPC method, and the idea is to obtain the optimal control sequence at each sampling moment by solving a finite time domain optimization problem, thereby realizing the online closed-loop control of the system in the whole time domain. In the rolling optimization process of the unmanned aerial vehicle anti-collision NMPC controller, state parameters of each unmanned aerial vehicle are monitored, the state of the system is predicted through a prediction model and the control quantity parameters, the optimization problem is solved according to preset optimization indexes, and the result is output to the unmanned aerial vehicle flight control unit. Predictive control employs a finite temporal optimization strategy that rolls forward in time, and therefore this step is referred to as roll optimization.
The collision detection in step (5) is based on the detection of a pre-defined unmanned aerial vehicle safety protection area, wherein the unmanned aerial vehicle safety protection area is defined as an unmanned aerial vehicle safety protection area with a radius dmDefined as the following set P:
P={x|||x-ra||<dm} (1)
wherein x ∈ R2And | | · | | represents the euclidean distance, raIs the current position of the conflicting target, dmThe distance margin between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the conflict target is also the minimum safe separation radius of the aircraft. The relationship between the sensing detection radius of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the minimum safety interval sphere radius is assumed to be Rm<<dmWhen the invading aircraft enters the unmanned aerial vehicle detection range, the unmanned aerial vehicle calculates according to the sensed state information of the invading aircraft, judges whether collision and conflict are possible between the invading aircraft and the unmanned aerial vehicle, and when the invading aircraft enters the minimum safety interval ball, the invading aircraft is considered to collide.
And (4) the collision avoidance in the step (6) is implemented by carrying out vertical or horizontal maneuvering through the safe path predicted by the NMPC algorithm in the step (3). The unmanned aerial vehicle collision avoidance cuts a search space of an optimization algorithm by specifying the maneuvering behavior of the unmanned aerial vehicle on the premise of meeting the timeliness requirement, and the collision avoidance of the unmanned aerial vehicle is decoupled according to vertical maneuvering and horizontal maneuvering, namely, the unmanned aerial vehicle only uses single collision avoidance maneuvering at any moment, and the collision conflict is eliminated in the shortest possible time by utilizing the maximum maneuvering capability. The invention defines five maneuvering strategies comprising maximum climbing rate rising, maximum climbing rate descending, maximum turning rate left turning, maximum turning rate right turning, turning rate and climbing rate being zero.
The following is a more specific set of examples:

The airspace situation perception means that information such as speed, acceleration, flying height, radial distance and the like of each aircraft in the airspace is obtained by processing information obtained by a plurality of sensors, and then a three-dimensional space coordinate with the aircraft as a center is established to perceive and position the invading aircraft and the barrier.

As shown in fig. 4, the NMPC model predictive control is a multivariable control strategy for a nonlinear system, and is composed of three parts, namely a predictive model, rolling optimization and feedback correction. The NMPC method solves an open-loop optimization problem of a finite time domain at each sampling moment according to the information currently measured by the system to obtain a control sequence, acts the first element of the control sequence on the system, repeats the operation at the next sampling moment, and uses a new measured value as the initial condition of the NMPC system to solve a new optimization problem. The NMPC method can effectively improve model precision errors, and the optimal control value of the system is determined through feedback correction and finite time domain rolling optimization, so that the system is guaranteed to have good stability.

The relationship between the sensing detection radius of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the minimum safety interval sphere radius is assumed to be Rm<<dmWhen the invading aircraft enters the unmanned aerial vehicle detection range, the unmanned aerial vehicle senses that the invading aircraft enters the minimum safety spacing ball, namely the radial distance is less than dmWhen so, the collision is considered to occur.
