屋外環境下におけるマルチローターヘリコプターの編隊飛行制御システム

抄録

A multirotor helicopter is a flight robot which can hover, take off, fly, and land in small areas. Recently, multirotor helicopters are getting a lot of attention for information gathering in disaster areas and photogrammetric measuring. They have some drawbacks such as a short duration of flight and a risk of confliction during multi vehicle operation. This paper deals with the formation flight control system for multirotor helicopters that can inspect a wide area in a short time. Practical experiments show that the photogrammetric measuring by using proposed formation flight is more suitable for practical use than the measuring by single vehicle.
