摘要
The intelligent drone is the key device of the future Internet of Drone, and its safe and robust flight in complicated environments still faces challenges. In this paper, we present a sampling-based kinodynamic planning algorithm for quadrotors, which plans a dynamically feasible trajectory in a complicated environment. We have designed a method to constrain the sampling state by using the vector field to construct a cone in the sampling stage of RRT*, so that the generated trajectory is connected as smoothly as possible to other states in the reachable set. The motion primitives are then generated by solving an optimal control problem and an explicit solution of the optimal duration for the motion primitives is given to optimally connect any pair of states. In addition, we have tried a new method to determine the neighbor radius for the non-Euclidean metrics of this paper. Finally, the planned trajectory is applied to the simulated quadrotor, which verifies the dynamic feasibility of the trajectory. Simulation results show that compared with the existing kinodynamic RRT* under the same number of iterations, the proposed algorithm explores more states with a shorter execution time and generates a smoother trajectory.
