Autonomous missions of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are prone to collisions owing to environmental disturbances and localization errors. Consequently, a UAV that can endure collisions and perform recovery control in critical aerial missions is desirable to prevent loss of the vehicle and/or payload. We address this problem by proposing a novel foldable quadrotor system which can sustain collisions and recover safely. The quadrotor is designed with integrated mechanical compliance using a torsional spring such that the impact time is increased and the net impact force on the main body is decreased. The post-collision dynamics is analysed and a recovery controller is proposed which stabilizes the system to a hovering location without additional collisions. Flight test results on the proposed and a conventional quadrotor demonstrate that for the former, integrated spring-damper characteristics reduce the rebound velocity and lead to simple recovery control algorithms in the event of unintended collisions as compared to a rigid quadrotor of the same dimension.

The paper focuses on collision-inclusive motion planning for impact-resilient mobile robots. We propose a new deformation recovery and replanning strategy to handle collisions that may occur at run-time. Contrary to collision avoidance methods that g
enerate trajectories only in conservative local space or require collision checking that has high computational cost, our method directly generates (local) trajectories with imposing only waypoint constraints. If a collision occurs, our method then estimates the post-impact state and computes from there an intermediate waypoint to recover from the collision. To achieve so, we develop two novel components: 1) a deformation recovery controller that optimizes the robots states during post-impact recovery phase, and 2) a post-impact trajectory replanner that adjusts the next waypoint with the information from the collision for the robot to pass through and generates a polynomial-based minimum effort trajectory. The proposed strategy is evaluated experimentally with an omni-directional impact-resilient wheeled robot. The robot is designed in house, and it can perceive collisions with the aid of Hall effect sensors embodied between the robots main chassis and a surrounding deflection ring-like structure.
We present a new quadrotor geometric control scheme that is capable of tracking highly aggressive trajectories. Unlike previous works, our geometric controller uses the logarithmic map of SO(3) to express rotational error in the Lie algebra, allowing
us to treat the manifold in a more effective and natural manner, and can be shown to be globally attractive. We show the performance of our control scheme against highly aggressive trajectories in simulation experiments. Additionally, we present an adaptation of this controller that allows us to interface effectively with the angular rate controllers on an onboard flight control unit and show the ability of this adapted control scheme to track aggressive trajectories on a quadrotor hardware platform.
We design and experimentally evaluate a hybrid safe-by-construction collision avoidance controller for autonomous vehicles. The controller combines into a single architecture the respective advantages of an adaptive controller and a discrete safe con
troller. The adaptive controller relies on model predictive control to achieve optimal efficiency in nominal conditions. The safe controller avoids collision by applying two different policies, for nominal and out-of-nominal conditions, respectively. We present design principles for both the adaptive and the safe controller and show how each one can contribute in the hybrid architecture to improve performance, road occupancy and passenger comfort while preserving safety. The experimental results confirm the feasibility of the approach and the practical relevance of hybrid controllers for safe and efficient driving.
Collision detection and recovery for aerial robots remain a challenge because of the limited space for sensors and local stability of the flight controller. We introduce a novel collision-resilient quadrotor that features a compliant arm design to en
able free flight while allowing for one passive degree of freedom to absorb shocks. We further propose a novel collision detection and characterization method based on Hall sensors, as well as a new recovery control method to generate and track a smooth trajectory after a collision occurs. Experimental results demonstrate that the robot can detect and recover from high-speed collisions with various obstacles such as walls and poles. Moreover, it can survive collisions that are hard to detect with existing methods based on IMU data and contact models, for example, when colliding with unstructured surfaces, or being hit by a moving obstacle while hovering.
Formation and collision avoidance abilities are essential for multi-agent systems. Conventional methods usually require a central controller and global information to achieve collaboration, which is impractical in an unknown environment. In this pape
r, we propose a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based distributed formation control scheme for autonomous vehicles. A modified stream-based obstacle avoidance method is applied to smoothen the optimal trajectory, and onboard sensors such as Lidar and antenna arrays are used to obtain local relative distance and angle information. The proposed scheme obtains a scalable distributed control policy which jointly optimizes formation tracking error and average collision rate with local observations. Simulation results demonstrate that our method outperforms two other state-of-the-art algorithms on maintaining formation and collision avoidance.
