This paper presents an intelligent and robust guidance, navigation and control solution for a rotary-wing UAV to carry out an autonomous cargo transportation mission between two moving platforms. Different from the conventional GPS/INS-only navigation scheme, this solution also integrates sophisticated Lidar and vision systems capable of precisely locating cargo loading and unloading positions. Besides, another complementary GPS/INS system is set up on the moving platforms with communication to the unmanned helicopter so that the controlled UAV is able to follow the dynamic platforms with good tracking performance. The whole system has been successfully implemented, and with its superb performance the Unmanned Systems Research Group from the National University of Singapore won the first place in the final round of the rotary-wing category competition of the 2nd AVIC Cup -International UAV Innovation Grand Prix 2013.

“…The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) technology has continuously been evolving with exceptional growth over the last years [1], leading to the emergence of a large number of services offered and potential applications. Drones are not meant to only serve with military purposes [2], but have also become widely used in civilian and industrial domain such us logistics and transportation [3][4][5], photography and filmmaking [6], safety and security [7], mapping [8], agriculture [9,10], monitoring [11][12][13][14], surveillance [15][16][17], architecture [18][19][20] and others applications. They were originally used for missions tedious or too dangerous for humans and all this due to their ease of deployment, low maintenance cost [21], high mobility and hovering capability [22].…”

Optimization of ANFIS controllers using improved ant colony to control an UAV trajectory tracking task

Development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has become the most important research areas in the field of autonomous aeronautical control. This paper proposes a robust and intelligent controller based on adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and improved ant colony optimization (IACO) to govern the behavior of a three degree of freedom quadrotor UAV. The quadrotor was chosen due to its simple mechanical structure; nevertheless, these types of aircraft are highly nonlinear. Intelligent control such as fuzzy logic is a suitable choice for controlling nonlinear systems. The ANFIS controller is used to reproduce the desired trajectory of the quadrotor in 2D Vertical plane and the IACO algorithm aims is to facilitate convergence to the ANFIS's optimal parameters in order to reduce learning errors and improve the quality of the controller. To evaluate the performance of the proposed IACO tuned ANFIS controller, a comparison between the proposed ANFIS-IACO controller and other controller's performance such us ANFIS only and proportional-integral-derivative controllers is illustrated using the same system. As expected, the hybrid ANFIS-IACO controller gives very satisfactory results than the others methods already developed in the same study.

“…The recent advancement of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) however has opened the possibility of using unmanned rotorcrafts for this kind of cargo transportation or good delivery tasks. One interesting case study is AirMule from UrbanAero, which has been used to transport supplies in Israel for military purposes [1]. A much fresher example is Amazon's PrimeAir project which aims to deliver package to every customer's backyard in 30 minutes using small quadrotor UAVs.…”

This paper presents an intelligent and robust guidance, navigation and control solution for a rotorcraft UAV to perform automatic cargo transportation between two moving platforms. Different from the conventional GPS/INS based navigation, the proposed UAV system also integrates a scanning laser range ¿nder to robustly correct its altitude measurement and an advanced vision sub-system to detect the cargo loading and unloading positions. The whole system has been veri¿ed in the 2nd AVIC Cup -International UAV Innovation Grand Prix. The joint team of National University of Singapore and Nanjing University of Science and Technology have won the ¿rst place in the ¿nal round of the rotary-wing category competition.
