CMPCC: Corridor-based Model Predictive Contouring Control for Aggressive Drone Flight

原文アブストラクト

In this paper, we propose an efficient, receding horizon, local adaptive low-level planner as the middle layer between our original planner and controller. Our method is named as corridor-based model predictive contouring control (CMPCC) since it builds upon on MPCC and utilizes the flight corridor as hard safety constraints. It optimizes the flight aggressiveness and tracking accuracy simultaneously, thus improving our system's robustness by overcoming unmeasured disturbances. Our method features its online flight speed optimization, strict safety and feasibility, and real-time performance, and will be released as a low-level plugin for a large variety of quadrotor systems.
