Recent advances in trajectory replanning have enabled quadrotor to navigate autonomously in unknown environments. However, high-speed navigation still remains a significant challenge. Given very limited time, existing methods have no strong guarantee on the feasibility or quality of the solutions. Moreover, most methods do not consider environment perception, which is the key bottleneck to fast flight. In this paper, we present RAPTOR, a robust and perception-aware replanning framework to support fast and safe flight. A path-guided optimization (PGO) approach that incorporates multiple topological paths is devised, to ensure finding feasible and high-quality trajectories in very limited time. We also introduce a perception-aware planning strategy to actively observe and avoid unknown obstacles. A risk-aware trajectory refinement ensures that unknown obstacles which may endanger the quadrotor can be observed earlier and avoid in time. The motion of yaw angle is planned to actively explore the surrounding space that is relevant for safe navigation. The proposed methods are tested extensively. We will release our implementation as an open-source package for the community.

In this paper, we propose a robust and efficient quadrotor motion planning system for fast flight in 3-D complex environments. We adopt a kinodynamic path searching method to find a safe, kinodynamic feasible and minimum-time initial trajectory in th e discretized control space. We improve the smoothness and clearance of the trajectory by a B-spline optimization, which incorporates gradient information from a Euclidean distance field (EDF) and dynamic constraints efficiently utilizing the convex hull property of B-spline. Finally, by representing the final trajectory as a non-uniform B-spline, an iterative time adjustment method is adopted to guarantee dynamically feasible and non-conservative trajectories. We validate our proposed method in various complex simulational environments. The competence of the method is also validated in challenging real-world tasks. We release our code as an open-source package.
This paper presents PANTHER, a real-time perception-aware (PA) trajectory planner in dynamic environments. PANTHER plans trajectories that avoid dynamic obstacles while also keeping them in the sensor field of view (FOV) and minimizing the blur to ai d in object tracking. The rotation and translation of the UAV are jointly optimized, which allows PANTHER to fully exploit the differential flatness of multirotors to maximize the PA objective. Real-time performance is achieved by implicitly imposing the underactuated constraint of the UAV through the Hopf fibration. PANTHER is able to keep the obstacles inside the FOV 7.4 and 1.4 times more than non-PA approaches and PA approaches that decouple translation and yaw, respectively. The projected velocity (and hence the blur) is reduced by 64% and 28%, respectively. This leads to success rates up to 3.3 times larger than state-of-the-art approaches in multi-obstacle avoidance scenarios. The MINVO basis is used to impose low-conservative collision avoidance constraints in position and velocity space. Finally, extensive hardware experiments in unknown dynamic environments with all the computation running onboard are presented, with velocities of up to 5.8 m/s, and with relative velocities (with respect to the obstacles) of up to 6.3 m/s. The only sensors used are an IMU, a forward-facing depth camera, and a downward-facing monocular camera.
We present a navigation system that combines ideas from hierarchical planning and machine learning. The system uses a traditional global planner to compute optimal paths towards a goal, and a deep local trajectory planner and velocity controller to c ompute motion commands. The latter components of the system adjust the behavior of the robot through attention mechanisms such that it moves towards the goal, avoids obstacles, and respects the space of nearby pedestrians. Both the structure of the proposed deep models and the use of attention mechanisms make the systems execution interpretable. Our simulation experiments suggest that the proposed architecture outperforms baselines that try to map global plan information and sensor data directly to velocity commands. In comparison to a hand-designed traditional navigation system, the proposed approach showed more consistent performance.
Determining the relative position and orientation of objects in an environment is a fundamental building block for a wide range of robotics applications. To accomplish this task efficiently in practical settings, a method must be fast, use common sen sors, and generalize easily to new objects and environments. We present MSL-RAPTOR, a two-stage algorithm for tracking a rigid body with a monocular camera. The image is first processed by an efficient neural network-based front-end to detect new objects and track 2D bounding boxes between frames. The class label and bounding box is passed to the back-end that updates the objects pose using an unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The measurement posterior is fed back to the 2D tracker to improve robustness. The objects class is identified so a class-specific UKF can be used if custom dynamics and constraints are known. Adapting to track the pose of new classes only requires providing a trained 2D object detector or labeled 2D bounding box data, as well as the approximate size of the objects. The performance of MSL-RAPTOR is first verified on the NOCS-REAL275 dataset, achieving results comparable to RGB-D approaches despite not using depth measurements. When tracking a flying drone from onboard another drone, it outperforms the fastest comparable method in speed by a factor of 3, while giving lower translation and rotation median errors by 66% and 23% respectively.
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.
