Abstract

A closed-loop identification method for estimating quadrotor-manipulators mass and inertia is presented. Essentially, the measurements of a plurality of six linear tri-axial accelerometers network are used. Adopting the assumption of rigid body, the recursive nonlinear least squares method is used to obtain the mass and inertia estimates, with the aid of a sufficiently exciting exogenous noise that is used to ensure convergence of the identification process when the angular motion during flight is negligible. Stability and identifiability related issues during identification and mission conduction are discussed. Other types of aerial vehicles can benefit from the proposed method that depends on simple kinematical analysis of motion. Its applicability is demonstrated using a numeric simulation.
