Multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAVs) are becoming more prominent for diverse real-world applications due to their inherent hovering ability, swift manoeuvring and vertical take-off landing capabilities. Nonetheless, to be entirely applicable for various obstacle prone environments, the conventional MUAVs may not be able to change their configuration depending on the available space and perform designated missions. It necessitates the morphing phenomenon of MUAVS, wherein it can alter their geometric structure autonomously. This article presents the development of a morphed MUAV based on a simple rotary actuation mechanism capable of driving each arm's smoothly and satisfying the necessary reduction in workspace volume to navigate in the obstacle prone regions. The mathematical modelling for the folding mechanism was formulated, and corresponding kinematic analysis was performed to understand the synchronous motion characteristics of the arms during the folding of arms. Experiments were conducted by precisely actuating the servo motors based on the proximity ultrasonic sensor data to avoid the obstacle for achieving effective morphing of MUAV. The flight tests were conducted to estimate the endurance and attain a change in morphology of MUAV from "-Configuration" to "-Configuration" with the four arms actuated synchronously without time delay.
多旋翼无人机(MUAV)由于其固有的悬停能力、快速机动和垂直起降能力,在各种现实世界的应用中越来越受到关注。然而,为了完全适用于各种易受障碍物影响的环境,传统的 MUAV 可能无法根据可用空间改变其配置,也无法执行指定的任务。这就需要 MUAV 的变形现象,即它可以自动改变其几何结构。本文提出了一种基于简单旋转驱动机构的变形 MUAV 的开发,该机构能够驱动每个臂的运动,并且满足在障碍物区域导航时工作空间体积减小的必要条件。对折叠机构进行了数学建模,并进行了相应的运动学分析,以了解臂折叠过程中臂的同步运动特性。通过根据接近式超声波传感器数据精确地驱动伺服电机来进行实验,以避免障碍物,从而实现 MUAV 的有效变形。进行了飞行测试,以估计耐力并实现 MUAV 从“-Configuration”到“-Configuration”的形态变化,四个臂同步驱动,没有时间延迟。
