摘要：AbstractThis work establishes a novel robocentric Non-linear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) framework for fast fully autonomous navigation of quadrotors in featureless dark tunnel environments. Additionally, this work leverages the processing of a single camera to generate direction commands along the tunnel axis, while regulating the platform’s altitude. The extracted visual dynamics are coupled in the sequel with the NMPC problem, structured around the Proximal Averaged Newton-type method for Optimal Control (PANOC), which is a fast numerical optimization method that is not sensitive to ill conditioning and is suitable for embedded NMPC implementations. Multiple fully realistic simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in challenging environments.
