摘要:

微型飞行器(MAV)在巡检和监视任务中的使用已被证明极为有用,然而,其可用性受到高功率需求和有限运行时间的负面影响。本文描述了一种新型混合空地车辆的设计与开发,该车辆具备多模态移动能力和长运行时间,适用于长航时巡检与监测应用。该设计由一架带有两个可倾斜轴和四个独立被动轮的MAV组成,使其能够飞行、接近、着陆并在平坦和倾斜表面上移动,同时对所有运动模式使用同一套执行器。与现有的带被动轮的多模态设计相比,所提出的设计实现了更高的地面移动效率,提供了更高的有效载荷能力,并且由于地面驱动机构而呈现出最低的质量增加之一。通过一系列实际实验评估了该车辆的性能,展示了其飞行、地面移动和爬墙能力,并评估了所有运动模式的能耗。

英文摘要:

The use of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) for inspection and surveillance missions has proved to be extremely useful, however, their usability is negatively impacted by the large power requirements and the limited operating time. This work describes the design and development of a novel hybrid aerial-ground vehicle, enabling multi-modal mobility and long operating time, suitable for long-endurance inspection and monitoring applications. The design consists of a MAV with two tiltable axles and four independent passive wheels, allowing it to fly, approach, land and move on flat and inclined surfaces, while using the same set of actuators for all modes of locomotion. In comparison to existing multi-modal designs with passive wheels, the proposed design enables a higher ground locomotion efficiency, provides a higher payload capacity, and presents one of the lowest mass increases due to the ground actuation mechanism. The vehicle's performance is evaluated through a series of real experiments, demonstrating its flying, ground locomotion and wall-climbing capabilities, and the energy consumption for all modes of locomotion is evaluated.
