Title
Planar spline trajectory following for an autonomous helicopter
Abstract
This paper proposes a technique for planar trajectory following for an autonomous aerial robot. A trajectory is modeled as a planar spline. A behavior-based control system which stabilizes the robot and enforces trajectory fol- lowing, has been implemented and tested on an autonomous helicopter. Results from two igh t experiments are presented. The trajec- tory tracking error is on the order of the size of the robot (1.8 m). Given the inherent error in GPS positioning, and environmental distur- bances (wind), this is quite reasonable.
