Contact Fiona Chui for questions on quadrotor dynamics (including contact), non-recovery controllers, collision detection, and collision characterization using Fuzzy Logic. Contact Gareth Dicker for questions on recovery controller.
MATLAB simulator that captures contact dynamics during collision between a propeller-protected quadrotor and a wall. The collision is identified and characterized, then a Recovery Controller stabilizes the vehicle to a safe distance away from the wall.
- Start standard simulator with
startsim.m
- Initial collision conditions can be prescribed inside
startsim.m
startsim_matchexp.m
is for creating simulations to mimic collisions using Spiri platform (set I)startsim_matchexpoffboard.m
is for creating simulations to mimic collisions using Navi platform (set VII)startsim_trajectory.m
is for prescribing a vehicle trajectory. Useful for non-collision simulations (make sure to locateImpactParams.wallLoc
far away from the trajectory waypoints.sim_Batch.m
runsstartsim.m
recursively (once you have turned it into a function by uncommenting the first line), to simulate collisions for an array of specified initial conditions. sim_MonteCarlo.m is recommended over this option.sim_MonteCarlo.m
runsstartsim.m
recursively (once you have turned it into a function by uncommenting the first line), to simulate collisions for an array of randomized initial conditions within specified ranges.
