Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle trajectory planning method based on space-time joint optimization

Abstract

The invention discloses a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle trajectory planning method based on space-time joint optimization. The method comprises the following steps: searching a front-end path to obtain discrete path points, allocating a time interval to each section of path by adopting a trapezoidal time allocation method, and optimizing through an unconstrained polynomial coefficient to obtain an initial trajectory path; based on duration cost and energy consumption cost of the initial trajectory, carrying out proportional adjustment on the time interval under the condition that constraints are considered, solving an optimal adjustment proportion, and updating the time intervals of all trajectory segments; then, alternately carrying out two links of unconstrained polynomial coefficient optimization and proportional adjustment of a time interval, and when trajectory cost tends to converge, ending a circulation step; carrying out overall proportion adjustment on the whole trajectorypath, ensuring that the whole trajectory meets constraint conditions, and acquiring a final optimized trajectory; and enabling the unmanned aerial vehicle to follow the trajectory by using the path points obtained by time discretization of the polynomial trajectory. According to the invention, the space-time joint optimization of the trajectory is realized, and meanwhile, a calculation rate is greatly improved.
