This paper presents a learning-based high-speed trajectory tracking control strategy for quadrotors, which achieves efficient learning and strong reliability by the collaboration of deep reinforcement learning (RL) and self-tuning mechanism. Different from existing methods, the proposed strategy is designed to explore optimal control performance by taking advantage of model-based self-tuning mechanism and deep reinforcement learning. Specifically, the self-tuning guided deep RL scheme is put forward for quadrotors, with superior learning efficiency and strong adaptability. Firstly, a novel self-tuning mechanism is constructed and some auxiliary variables are introduced to enhance the tracking performance. Then, based on the model-driven self-tuning design, the deep RL is proposed to achieve model-guided learning, where the tuning actions are adopted in the evaluation process during training, aiming at removing the bad explorations by the carefully designed parallel evaluation. Finally, the convergence is analyzed based on the proposed learning framework, which indicates the efficient cooperation of exploration and self-tuning mechanism. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller, the guided training and hardware experiments are implemented to show efficient cooperation and satisfactory high-speed trajectory tracking control of the proposed method.
Perception and control systems for autonomous vehicles are an active area of scientific and industrial research. These solutions should be characterised by both high efficiency in recognising obstacles and other envir...

A set of event-based supervisors is developed to control the maintenance process of a printing machine. The Discrete Event System descriptions of the distinct tasks of the maintenance process are in the form of Finite State Machines. The desired behavior is expressed as four behavioral rules. The rules are translated to regular languages realized by appropriate supervisor automaton. The supervisor’s physical realizability is proved and the blocking avoidance of the controlled printing machine is satisfied.
We introduce a novel framework of continuous-time ultra-wideband-inertial sensor fusion for online motion estimation. Quaternion-based cubic cumulative B-splines are exploited for parameterizing motion states continuo...

Automated visual inspection of on- and off-shorewind turbines using aerial robots provides several benefits, namely, a safe working environment by circumventing the need for workers to be suspended high above the ground, reduced inspection time, preventive maintenance, and access to hard-to-reach areas. A novel nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) framework alongside a global wind turbine path planner is proposed to achieve distance-optimal coverage for wind turbine inspection. Unlike traditional MPC formulations, visual tracking NMPC (VT-NMPC) is designed to track an inspection surface, instead of a position and heading trajectory, thereby circumventing the need to provide an accurate predefined trajectory for the drone. An additional capability of the proposed VT-NMPC method is that by incorporating inspection requirements as visual tracking costs to minimize, it naturally achieves the inspection task successfully while respecting the physical constraints of the drone. Multiple simulation runs and real-world tests demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of the proposed automated inspection framework, which outperforms the traditional MPC designs, by providing full coverage of the target wind turbine blades as well as its robustness to changing wind conditions. The implementation codes 1 1 https://***/open-airlab/VTNMPC-Autonomous-Wind-Turbine-Inspection are open-sourced.
