Abstract
In this paper, we propose a simulation application that allows an aerial vehicle to land autonomously on a moving platform in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances. We have tested our method with various speeds and positions for the landing platform. In the context of this article, the autonomous control of landing on mobile platforms consists in synchronizing the movement of an aerial vehicle with the movement of the mobile platform. As a first step, the Spacelab INCAS laboratory group has developed an offline simulation application that allows an ABB robot to receive information on the movement of a Stewart-type mobile platform in order to conduct a landing process. The application can initiate a landing process on the mobile platform and guide the vehicle for perfect docking on the platform. Offline simulation allows the study of several scenarios of a robot working cell - the mobile platform before setting up the production cell. The offline application has a distributed client-server structure. The client communicates with the server through specific communication protocols. The client and server can reside on the same computer. The client application is developed in the Matlab environment and has as object the simulation and programming of the PS-6TL-1500 platform; the server one simulates and programs an ABB 7600-500/2.55 robot that moves on the track, in the RAPID language under RobotStudio ABB simulator.
