CBF-Based Control Allocation for Omnidirectional Tiltrotor Aerial Robots

Actively tilting aerial robots can generate six-dimensional wrenches, but slow servo response can make a desired wrench infeasible during reconfiguration.

Key points

  • This paper develops a control barrier function (CBF) allocator that preserves wrench feasibility under bounded servo-configuration mismatch.
  • An exact equivalent-wrench identity connects the thrust required at nominal and actual configurations.
  • For a nonsingular six-channel allocation map, inverse allocation reduces robust wrench containment to twelve thrust margins tightened by an ellipsoidal reserve.
  • A complementary MuJoCo study evaluates a measured-angle implementation against geometric, augmented differential, and normalized differential allocation in circular and cartwheel maneuvers, with and without disturbances.
