Description
本申请涉及飞行器技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种无人飞行器控制方法、无人飞行器控制装置、无人飞行器、无人飞行器的系统以及计算机存储介质。
目前,多旋翼无人飞行器被大范围的应用于工业、农业等行业领域,这些领域中无人飞行器往往利用其挂载的设备而执行不同的工作任务,因此无人飞行器上所挂载的设备呈现多样化的趋势,有的负载是无人飞行器厂商配套提供的可用该型无人飞行器使用的设备,有的负载是用户自行设计或者购买的第三方设备。而这些负载的变动会使该无人飞行器的动力学模型与无人飞行器飞行控制系统设计时所依赖的模型相差较大,即使通过控制系统的鲁棒性设计能够保证无人飞行器可以进行正常的飞行操作,但在负载与标准负载差别较大时,无人飞行器的飞行品质还是难免会有不同程度的下降。例如当负载的变动导致整个无人飞行器系统的重心较标准状态移动超过一定程度后,无人飞行器在起飞离地瞬间往往出现姿态抖一下的“起飞点头”问题,这种现象还会使得无人飞行器离地后立刻相对起飞点横移一小段距离,这可能会撞上周围的物体、人群甚至飞手自己。
针对上述问题,一些无人飞行器厂商通过声明对负载的要求来限制负载的安装位置以及重量来减弱重心偏置的影响,这样会牺牲一定的负载能力;一些无人飞行器会要求用户手动测量重心的位置并将其输入进无人飞行器的模型系统中来解决该问题,这样的操作对于大部分用户来说都过于复杂且不实际,也影响用户体验;一些会通过对控制器进行改进,提高控制器的自适应性,但是在每次起飞离地时仍然会因为尚未来得及对模型进行估计而造成起飞姿态“点头”、位置“横漂”的现象。

在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本申请,但是,本申请还可以采用其他不同于在此描述的其他方式来实施,因此,本申请的保护范围并不限于下面公开的具体实施例的限制。
本申请第一方面的实施例,提出一种无人飞行器控制方法,图1示出了本申请的一个实施例的无人飞行器控制方法的流程示意图。其中,该方法包括:
步骤102,获取目标飞行数据和当前飞行数据,并根据目标飞行数据和当前飞行数据确定控制状态量。
在一种实施例中,所述控制状态量包括至少四个控制状态量:总拉力命令、偏航轴扭矩命令、俯仰轴扭矩命令、横滚轴扭矩命令。具体地,获取无人飞行器的目标飞行数据和当前飞行数据,在控制无人飞行器飞行过程中,根据目标飞行数据和当前飞行数据给出至少四个控制状态量:总拉力命令、偏航轴扭矩命令、俯仰轴扭矩命令、横滚轴扭矩命令。进一步地,无人飞行器包括动力装置,该动力装置可以诸如是至少一个电机,上述四个控制状态量对应于无人飞行器因为各个电机而受到的力和力矩,也就是总拉力、偏航轴扭矩、俯仰轴扭矩、横滚轴扭矩。
步骤104,根据控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准。
进一步地,根据步骤102中获取的控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准。进一步地,根据控制状态量获得无人飞行器的重心与无人飞行器的拉力中心的偏差。
在一些实施例中,步骤104,根据控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准的步骤包括:根据控制状态量,计算无人飞行器的重心与无人飞行器的拉力中心的偏置数据。
在一些实施例中,偏置数据包括以下一种或其组合:偏置位置、偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩。
在该实施例中,根据控制状态量计算得到无人飞行器的重心与无人飞行器的拉力中心的偏置数据,即无人飞行器的实际重心位置与标准位置的偏差,偏置数据可以为偏置位置、偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩等数据。
在一种实施例中,无人飞行器的飞行控制器在控制无人飞行器飞行过程中会持续的给出至少四个控制状态量:总拉力命令T
c、偏航轴扭矩命令τ
zc、俯仰轴扭矩命令τ
yc、横滚轴扭矩命令τ
xc,这四个控制状态量对应于无人机最终将因为各个电机的转速而受到的力和力矩,也就是总拉力T、偏航轴扭矩τ
z、俯仰轴扭矩τ
y、横滚轴扭矩τ
x。
定义所有电机位置围绕出的正多边形的外接圆的圆心为等效拉力中心。如图2所示,以四旋翼无人飞行器为例,包括四个电机,O点即为该四旋翼无人飞行器的等效拉力中心,根据力的平移定理,可以将所有电机的拉力等效于作用等效拉力中心上的总拉力T加上两个绕水平轴的力矩τ
x、τ
y。
当无人飞行器的重心与拉力重心完全重合时,根据二力平衡法则,只需要满足拉力等于重力,即T=G,可以维持无人飞行器的平衡,此时无人飞行器的两个水平旋转轴上的力矩将接近于零。但是若无人飞行器的重心与等效拉力中心不重合,则用户还需手动调节无人飞行器力矩才能维持平衡。以横滚方向上的不重合为例,可做受力分析图如图3所示,根据刚体受力平衡法则,当无人飞行器维持悬停的稳定状态时,必然有
T=G (1)
T×d
y+τ
x=0 (2)
在无人飞行器已达到稳定状态时,有
T=T
c (3)
τ
x=τ
xc (4)
因此可以得到d
y=-τ
xc/T
c,同理可得d
x=-τ
yc/T
c。因此,在无人飞行器保持悬停的情况下,无人飞行器的飞控系统可以利用上述公式计算出当前挂载下无人飞行器重心相对桨面中心的水平位置,即偏置距离。
当然,偏置数据不限于偏置距离,在其他实施例中,偏置数据可以包括以下一种或其组合:偏置位置、偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩。例如,对于一些建模不够准确的无人飞行器,估计的重心偏置量不一定是真实偏置距离,而是垂直通道到各转动通道的控制补偿值,例如偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩等数据。本实施例仅为示例性说明,在此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,还包括:存储偏置数据。
在该实施例中,在标定出偏置数据后,可将该偏置数据保存到Flash、EEPROM等非易失存储器,在承载相同负载的情况下,无人飞行器每次在上电后都加载该偏置数据,在每次起飞时无人飞行器都能根据该偏置数据前馈控制,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,这样的提前补偿就能消除前述的“起飞点头”问题。在一些实施例中,还包括:根据偏置数据生成控制分量,并根据控制分量控制无人飞行器的动力装置。
在该实施例中,根据偏置数据生成控制分量,根据控制分量控制无人飞行器的动力装置,以减小偏置数据,使无人飞行器稳定飞行,提升飞行品质。飞控系统能更加准确的分配各个控制通道的控制量,降低通道间的耦合量。例如,在每次起飞时无人飞行器的控制系统就能根据存储的偏置数据通过前馈控制,准确分配各个动力装置的拉力,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,这样的提前补偿就能消除前述的“起飞点头”问题。或者在无人飞行器飞行的过程中准确分配各个动力装置的拉力,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,保证飞行品质。
在一些实施例中,还包括:将偏置数据与预设阈值进行比较,根据比较结果确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围。
在一些实施例中,根据比较结果确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围的步骤包括:在比较结果为偏置数据大于或等于预设阈值的情况下,确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置超过规定安装范围;在比较结果为偏置数据小于预设阈值的情况下,确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置未超过规定安装范围。可以理解,在其他实施方式中,也可以按照其他合适的预先设置的规则来根据比较结果确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围;例如,在比较结果为偏置数据大于预设阈值的情况下,确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置超过规定安装范围;在比较结果为偏置数据小于或等于预设阈值的情况下,确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置未超过规定安装范围,在此不作限定。
在一种实施例中,计算出偏置数据后,可以通过跟该款无人飞行器所支持的预设阈值(即偏置范围)进行比较,告知用户负载的安装位置是否超过预设阈值,使得无人飞行器能够自行检测是否支持该负载安装,或者负载安装的位置是否合理。
在一些实施例中,还包括:记录预设时间段内的控制状态量,并根据预设时间段内的控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准。
在该实施例中,在一段时间内记录为消除重心偏置而输出的各控制状态量,统计一段时间内的控制状态量后可通过求取平均值等方法消除控制状态量的随机误差,以消除诸如风或飞机振动而引入的干扰,然后再计算出偏置数据,提高计算偏置数据的准确性。
在一些实施例中,在根据控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准的步骤之前还包括:获取无人飞行器的状态数据,并判断状态数据是否满足重心校准条件;当状态数据满足重心校准条件时,进入根据控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准的步骤。
在一些实施例中,状态数据包括以下一种或其组合:定位数据、图像数据、姿态数据、加速度数据、角速度数据。
在一些实施例中,重心校准条件包括无人飞行器处于平衡状态。
在一些实施例中,重心校准条件还包括无人飞行器的惯性测量单元已进行数据校准。
在该实施例中,在进行无人飞行器的重心校准前,需判断状态数据是否满足允许重心校准的条件,例如,重心校准条件为无人飞行器是否处于平衡状态,只有在无人飞行器处于平衡状态时进行的重心校准才是准确的,其中平衡状态包括悬停模式、定位模式下航向转动过程中水平位置静止的模式。重心校准条件还可以为无人飞行器的惯性测量单元已进行数据校准,在无人飞行器处于平衡状态的基础上保证惯性测量单元获取的数据均为准确数据,由此提高重心校准的准确性。
在一些实施例中,还包括:获取无人飞行器的周围环境数据,并判断周围环境数据是否满足重心校准条件;当周围环境数据满足重心校准条件时,进入根据所述控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准的步骤。
在一些实施例中,周围环境数据包括周围环境气流或周围环境风速。
在一些实施例中,重心校准条件包括无人飞行器所处环境的风速小于预设风速。
在该实施例中,周围环境数据可以根据无人机的姿态得到,也可以根据其他外部传感器,例如风力计或者从云端气象站得到的信息获取。在周围环境为无风环境时不会给无人飞行器带来气流干扰的外力,避免无人飞行器的重心校准出现干扰。
在具体实施例中,重心校准条件可以包括:

(2)周围气流稳定且无风:当周围环境风速较大,无人飞行器还会受到气流干扰带来的外力,使得无人飞行器即使处于定位悬停状态,由于引入了新的难以估算且无法忽视的外力,上述的公式推导也将失效,因此要求进行校准的环境必须是无风的平静气流环境。可根据无人飞行器倾斜角度数据等判断无人飞行器是否处于无风环境,获取设置风力采集装置来判断。
(3)无人飞行器的IMU(惯性测量单元)校准正确:IMU必须已经通过校准消除了由于温度等带来的稳态误差,否则该误差会被上述算法认为是重心偏置引发的。现在常见的无人飞行器都具备IMU校准功能,推荐在每次进行重心校准之前,进行IMU的重新校准。

本申请第二方面的实施例,提出一种无人飞行器控制装置,图4示出了本申请的一个实施例的无人飞行器控制装置40的示意图。其中,该控制 装置40包括:
处理器402,用于获取目标飞行数据和当前飞行数据,根据目标飞行数据和当前飞行数据确定控制状态量,并根据控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准。
在一种实施例中,所述控制状态量包括至少四个控制状态量:总拉力命令、偏航轴扭矩命令、俯仰轴扭矩命令、横滚轴扭矩命令。具体地,获取无人飞行器的目标飞行数据和当前飞行数据,在控制无人飞行器飞行过程中,根据目标飞行数据和当前飞行数据给出至少四个控制状态量:总拉力命令、偏航轴扭矩命令、俯仰轴扭矩命令、横滚轴扭矩命令。进一步地,无人飞行器包括动力装置,该动力装置可以诸如是至少一个电机,上述四个控制状态量对应于无人飞行器因为各个电机而受到的力和力矩,也就是总拉力、偏航轴扭矩、俯仰轴扭矩、横滚轴扭矩。进一步地,根据控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准。进一步地,根据控制状态量获得无人飞行器的重心与无人飞行器的拉力中心的偏差。
在一些实施例中,处理器402可以包括一个或多个微处理器。
在一些实施例中,处理器402根据控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准包括:根据控制状态量,计算无人飞行器的重心与无人飞行器的拉力中心的偏置数据。
在一些实施例中,偏置数据包括以下一种或其组合:偏置位置、偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩。
在该实施例中,根据控制状态量计算得到无人飞行器的重心与无人飞行器的拉力中心的偏置数据,即无人飞行器的实际重心位置与标准位置的偏差,偏置数据可以为偏置位置、偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩等数据。

定义所有电机位置围绕出的正多边形的外接圆的圆心为等效拉力中 心。如图2所示,以四旋翼无人飞行器为例,包括四个电机,O点即为该四旋翼无人飞行器的等效拉力中心,根据力的平移定理,可以将所有电机的拉力等效于作用等效拉力中心上的总拉力T加上两个绕水平轴的力矩τ
x、τ
y。
当无人飞行器的重心与拉力重心完全重合时,根据二力平衡法则,只需要满足拉力等于重力,即T=G,可以维持无人飞行器的平衡,此时无人飞行器的两个水平旋转轴上的力矩将接近于零。但是若无人飞行器的重心与等效拉力中心不重合,则用户还需手动调节无人飞行器力矩才能维持平衡。以横滚方向上的不重合为例,可做受力分析图如图3所示,根据刚体受力平衡法则,当无人飞行器维持悬停的稳定状态时,同样地,必然有
T=G (1)
T×d
y+τ
x=0 (2)
在无人飞行器已达到稳定状态时,有
T=T
c (3)
τ
x=τ
xc (4)
因此可以得到d
y=-τ
xc/T

x=-τ
yc/T
c。因此,在无人飞行器保持悬停的情况下,无人飞行器的飞控系统可以利用上述公式计算出当前挂载下无人飞行器重心相对桨面中心的水平位置,即偏置距离。
当然,偏置数据不限于偏置距离,在其他实施例中,偏置数据可以包括以下一种或其组合:偏置位置、偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩。例如,对于一些建模不够准确的无人飞行器,估计的重心偏置量不一定是真实偏置距离,而是垂直通道到各转动通道的控制补偿值,例如偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩等数据。本实施例仅为示例性说明,在此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,还包括:存储器404,用于存储偏置数据。
在该实施例中,在标定出偏置数据后,可将该偏置数据保存到Flash、EEPROM等非易失存储器,在承载相同负载的情况下,无人飞行器每次在上电后都加载该偏置数据,在每次起飞时无人飞行器都能根据该偏置数据前馈控制,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,这样的提前补偿就能消除前述的“起飞点头”问题。

在一些实施例中,处理器402还用于根据偏置数据生成控制分量,并根据控制分量控制无人飞行器的动力装置。
在该实施例中,根据偏置数据生成控制分量,根据控制分量控制无人飞行器的动力装置,以减小偏置数据,使无人飞行器稳定飞行,提升飞行品质。飞控系统能更加准确的分配各个控制通道的控制量,降低通道间的耦合量。例如,在每次起飞时无人飞行器的控制系统就能根据存储的偏置数据通过前馈控制,准确分配各个动力装置的拉力,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,这样的提前补偿就能消除前述的“起飞点头”问题。或者在无人飞行器飞行的过程中准确分配各个动力装置的拉力,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,保证飞行品质。

在一种实施例中,计算出偏置数据后,可以通过跟该款无人飞行器所支持的预设阈值(即偏置范围)进行比较,告知用户负载的安装位置是否超过预设阈值,使得无人飞行器能够自行检测是否支持该负载安装,或者负载安装的位置是否合理。

在一些实施例中,处理器402还用于获取无人飞行器的周围环境数据,并判断周围环境数据是否满足重心校准条件;当周围环境数据满足重心校准条件时,进入根据所述控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准的步骤。

当无人飞行器的重心与拉力重心完全重合时,根据二力平衡法则,只需要满足拉力等于重力,即T=G,可以维持无人飞行器的平衡,此时无人飞行器的两个水平旋转轴上的力矩将接近于零。但是若无人飞行器的重心 与等效拉力中心不重合,则用户还需手动调节无人飞行器力矩才能维持平衡。以横滚方向上的不重合为例,可做受力分析图如图3所示,根据刚体受力平衡法则,当无人飞行器维持悬停的稳定状态时,同样地,必然有

c。因此,在无人飞行器保持悬停的情况下,无人飞行器的飞控系统可以利用上述公式计算出当前挂载下无人飞行器重心相对桨面中心的水平位置,即偏置距离。
当然,偏置数据不限于偏置距离,在其他实施例中,偏置数据可以包括以下一种或其组合:偏置位置、偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩。例如,对于一些建模不够准确的无人飞行器,估计的重心偏置量不一定是真实偏置距离,而是垂直通道到各转动通道的控制补偿值,例如偏置质量、偏置力、偏置力矩等数据。本实施例仅为示例性说明,在此不作限定。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于存储偏置数据。
在该实施例中,在计算得到无人飞行器704的重心与无人飞行器704的拉力中心的偏置数据后,可将该偏置数据保存到Flash、EEPROM等非易失存储器中,在承载相同负载的情况下,无人飞行器704每次在上电后都加载该偏置数据,在每次起飞时无人飞行器都能根据该偏置数据前馈控制,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,这样的提前补偿就能消除前述的“起飞点头”问题。
在一些实施例中,控制终端702还用于存储偏置数据,以及将偏置数据发送至所述无人飞行器。在该实施例中,偏置数据也可以存储在控制终端702上,控制终端702在发送重心校准指令的时候,可直接发送偏置数据至无人飞行器704。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于根据偏置数据生成控制分量,并根据控制分量控制无人飞行器704的动力装置。
在该实施例中,根据偏置数据生成控制分量,根据控制分量控制无人飞行器的动力装置,以减小偏置数据,使无人飞行器稳定飞行,提升飞行品质。无人飞行器704能更加准确的分配各个控制通道的控制量,降低通道间的耦合量。例如,在每次起飞时无人飞行器704的控制系统就能根据存储的偏置数据通过前馈控制,准确分配各个动力装置的拉力,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,这样的提前补偿就能消除前述的“起飞点头”问题。或者在无人飞行器704飞行的过程中准确分配各个动力装置的拉力,使得等效拉力中心也作用于实际的重心上,保证飞行品质。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于将偏置数据与预设阈值进行比较,根据比较结果确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704根据比较结果确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围包括:在比较结果为偏置数据大于或等于预设阈值的情况下,确定无人飞行器704的负载安装位置超过规定安装范围;在比较结果为偏置数据小于预设阈值的情况下,确定无人飞行器704的负载安装位置未超过规定安装范围。可以理解,在其他实施方式中,也可以按照其他合适的预先设置的规则来根据比较结果确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围;例如,在比较结果为偏置数据大于预设阈值的情况下,确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置超过规定安装范围;在比较结果为偏置数据小于或等于预设阈值的情况下,确定无人飞行器的负载安装位置未超过规定安装范围,在此不作限定。
在一种实施例中,计算出偏置数据后,可以通过跟该款无人飞行器704所支持的预设阈值(即偏置范围)进行比较,告知用户负载的安装位置是否超过预设阈值,使得无人飞行器704能够自行检测是否支持该负载安装,或者负载安装的位置是否合理。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于将负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围的结果发送至控制终端702;显示装置还用于对负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围的结果进行显示。
在该实施例中,控制终端702对负载安装位置是否超过规定安装范围 的结果进行显示,以提醒用户调整负载安装位置。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于记录预设时间段内的控制状态量,并根据预设时间段内的控制状态量进行无人飞行器704的重心校准。
在该实施例中,在一段时间内记录为消除重心偏置而输出的各控制状态量,统计一段时间内的控制状态量后可通过求取平均值等方法消除控制状态量的随机误差,以消除诸如风或飞机振动而引入的干扰,然后再计算出偏置数据,提高计算偏置数据的准确性。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704的提示装置在根据重心校准指令进行重心校准的过程中发出校准提示信息。
在该实施例中,为了让用户实时了解进度,可以通过无人飞行器状态灯闪特殊颜色、发出设定的声音等方式来向用户报告状态。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于获取状态数据,并判断状态数据是否满足重心校准条件,当状态数据满足重心校准条件时根据重心校准指令进行重心校准。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于向控制终端702发送校准进度信息。例如,通过在控制终端702的app上显示进度条的方法来向用户报告校准状态。
在一些实施例中,状态数据包括以下一种或其组合:定位数据、图像数据、姿态数据、加速度数据、角速度数据。
在一些实施例中,重心校准条件包括无人飞行器处于平衡状态。
在一些实施例中,重心校准条件还包括无人飞行器的惯性测量单元已进行数据校准。
在该实施例中,在进行无人飞行器的重心校准前,需判断状态数据是否满足允许重心校准的条件,例如,重心校准条件为无人飞行器是否处于平衡状态,只有在无人飞行器处于平衡状态时进行的重心校准才是准确的,其中平衡状态包括悬停模式、定位模式下航向转动过程中水平位置静止的模式。重心校准条件还可以为无人飞行器的惯性测量单元已进行数据校准,在无人飞行器处于平衡状态的基础上保证惯性测量单元获取的数据均为准确数据,由此提高重心校准的准确性。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于获取无人飞行器的周围环境数据,并判断周围环境数据是否满足重心校准条件,当周围环境数据满足重心校准条件时,根据控制状态量进行无人飞行器的重心校准。
在一些实施例中,周围环境数据包括周围环境气流或周围环境风速。
在一些实施例中,重心校准条件包括无人飞行器所处环境的风速小于预设风速。
在该实施例中,周围环境数据可以根据无人机的姿态得到,也可以根据其他外部传感器,例如风力计或者从云端气象站得到的信息获取。在周围环境为无风环境时不会给无人飞行器带来气流干扰的外力,避免无人飞行器的重心校准出现干扰。
在具体实施例中,重心校准条件可以包括:
(1)无人飞行器具备定位悬停能力:在上述的算法中,都是在假设无人飞行器已经处于平衡状态,也就是只有当无人飞行器处于静止状态时,上述推导过程才能够成立,由于依靠人来维持多选翼的无人飞行器的平衡十分困难,因此要求无人飞行器必须具备无需手动操作的定位悬停能力。进一步地,可通过定位数据、图像数据、姿态数据等判断无人飞行器是否处于平衡状态,例如,可以通过定位装置(如全球定位系统GPS、载波相位差分技术RTK等)获取无人飞行器的位置信息,当获取的无人飞行器的位置未发生变化时可以认为无人飞行器处于悬停状态;或者也可以在一定时间间隔内通过视觉传感器获取无人飞行器的周围环境的多张图像,并对获取的多张图像进行图像处理,当获取的图像中的物体位置未发生变化时可以认为无人飞行器处于悬停状态;或者还可以通过惯性测量单元(IMU)获取无人飞行器的加速度、速度信息,当无人飞行器的加速度与速度为零时,可以认为无人飞行器处于悬停状态,在其他实施方式中,也可以通过上述判断方式中的一种或几种的数据融合进行判断,以提高判断的准确度。
(2)周围气流稳定且无风:当周围环境风速较大,无人飞行器还会受到气流干扰带来的外力,使得无人飞行器即使处于定位悬停状态,由于引入了新的难以估算且无法忽视的外力,上述的公式推导也将失效,因此要求进行校准的环境必须是无风的平静气流环境。可根据无人飞行器倾斜角 度数据等判断无人飞行器是否处于无风环境,获取设置风力采集装置来判断。
(3)无人飞行器的IMU(惯性测量单元)校准正确:IMU必须已经通过校准消除了由于温度等带来的稳态误差,否则该误差会被上述算法认为是重心偏置引发的。现在常见的无人飞行器都具备IMU校准功能,推荐在每次进行重心校准之前,进行IMU的重新校准。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704距离地面的距离大于预设距离。在该实施例中,保证无人飞行器距离地面预设距离,例如距离地面有2米以上的高度,以减小地面所带来的紊流影响。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于当状态数据不满足重心校准条件时,停止校准,并发送第一指令至所述控制终端702。可通过控制终端702的显示装置显示状态数据不满足重心校准条件的信息(例如无人飞行器未处于平衡状态)和调整建议信息(例如请调整无人飞行器悬停状态)。
在一些实施例中,第一指令包括不满足所述重心校准条件的原因和调整建议信息。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704还用于当校准失败时,停止校准,并发送第二指令至所述控制终端702。
在一些实施例中,第二指令包括校准失败原因。
在一些实施例中,无人飞行器704在根据重心校准指令进行重心校准的过程中,若状态数据不满足重心校准条件,则停止校准,并发送第一指令至控制终端702。
在该实施例中,如果在校准过程中用户进行了操作或者因为传感器精度有限导致数据收敛性很差,将可能会提前中断校准操作,并通过控制终端702的app向用户反馈校准失败以及失败的原因。
采用本申请的技术方案,可获得当前无人飞行器的实际重心位置与标准位置的偏差,从而能根据这一偏差而消除重心位置偏差造成的飞行品质的下降,本申请的技术方案对于用户来说简单方便,可操作性强,并且能够更大限度地提升无人飞行器的负载适配能力,用户可以适配自己的负载到无人飞行器机架上而不用担心飞行品质的恶化,使得无人飞行器支持第 三方负载的能力有明显的提高。
图8示出了本申请的一个实施例的重心校准操作的交互实现示意图。其中,该交互实现步骤包括:
(1)用户操作无人飞行器完成起飞操作,并使无人飞行器进入定位悬停模式,同时要保证无人飞行器距离地面有2米以上的高度,以减小地面所带来的紊流影响;
(2)无人飞行器在收到触发命令后,将检查当前状态与环境是否可以进行重心校准操作,例如如果无人飞行器检测到悬停时姿态输出不为0,则无人飞行器将向终端app反馈当前无法进行重心校准,并提醒用户进行IMU校准并移至无风环境下重新出发操作。如果通过所有检查,无人飞行器将自动进入重心校准过程;
(3)无人飞行器将在一段时间内,记录控制器为消除重心偏置而输出的各控制量,统计一段时间内的数据后可通过平均等方法消除随机误差,然后利用上述算法计算出重心水平偏置估计值。为了让用户实时了解进度,可以通过无人飞行器状态灯闪特殊颜色灯或者终端app上实时显示进度条的方法来向用户报告状态;
(4)如果在校准过程中用户进行了操作或者因为传感器精度有限导致数据收敛性很差,将可能会提前中断校准操作,并通过终端app向用户反馈校准失败以及失败的原因。
(5)在飞控系统计算出收敛的估计值后,将通过终端app向用户告知校准成功,并将该值保存在非易失存储器中以供之后承载相同负载时的飞行继续使用。
(6)至此,完成整个重心校准过程。
其中,该算法估计出重心偏置值后,可以通过跟重心校准过程中的该款无人飞行器所支持的偏置范围进行比较,告知用户的安装位置是否超过规定范围,使得无人飞行器能够自行检测是否支持该负载。
重心校准的交互终端可以是终端app、遥控器、上位机等终端,本申请不做限制。
在其他实施例中,如果无人飞行器的定位精度非常高,也可以在室内 或非空旷场景下进行该无人飞行器的重心校准。
本申请实施例适用于负载实时变化的无人飞行器,例如对于油动无人飞行器、植保无人飞行器等负载实时变动的情况,无人飞行器的飞行控制器可以实时进行重心校准,以适配实时变动的负载,确保飞行的平稳与安全,并提高用户的使用体验。进一步地,当无人飞行器处于悬停状态时,更新计算出当前的重心偏置水平,在危险情况下可以提醒用户。
