Automating Bird Diverter Installation through Multi-Aerial Robots and Signal Temporal Logic Specifications

原文アブストラクト

This paper tackles the task assignment and trajectory generation problem for bird diverter installation using a fleet of multi-rotors. The proposed motion planner considers payload capacity, recharging constraints, and utilizes Signal Temporal Logic (STL) specifications for encoding mission objectives and temporal requirements. An event-based replanning strategy is introduced to handle unexpected failures and ensure operational continuity. An energy minimization term is also employed to implicitly save multi-rotor flight time during installation. Simulations in MATLAB and Gazebo, as well as field experiments, demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the approach in a mock-up scenario.
