🔥 Content Introduction
1. System Architecture
- Main Class
<span>DroneSimulation</span>: Encapsulates all simulation logic (vehicle modeling, drone dynamics, control, visualization), with a clear structure for easy expansion. - Modular Design: Each function is independent as a method (e.g.,
<span>updateVehicles</span>,<span>detectAruco</span>,<span>updateVisualization</span>), allowing for individual modification or replacement.
2. Core Functional Modules
(1) Modeling of Moving Vehicles (3 Vehicle Fleet)
- Path Type: Supports
<span>Circular Path</span>(default) and<span>Straight Return Path</span>, switchable via<span>obj.vehicles.path_type</span>. - Fleet Coordination: In a circular path, the front and rear vehicles maintain a fixed angular difference (0.2 rad) to ensure safe spacing; in a straight path, they automatically return upon reaching the boundary.
- ArUco Markers: Each vehicle is equipped with a unique ID (1/2/3) ArUco marker on its roof for drone detection and authentication.
(2) Drone Dynamics and Control
- VTOL Characteristics: Supports vertical takeoff and landing, and hovering, simplifying the six-degree-of-freedom model, with gravity compensation and boundary constraints added.
- Dual Control Modes:
- Automatic Mode: Tracks the target vehicle (based on ArUco ID), automatically descends to land after authentication.
- Manual Mode: WASD controls horizontal movement, Q/E controls elevation, suitable for manual position adjustments.
- PID Position Control: Parameters are adjustable (
<span>Kp_pos</span>/<span>Ki_pos</span>/<span>Kd_pos</span>), ensuring smooth and stable tracking.
