Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) over a moving target in an inland water environment. The maneuvers are carried out by a multi-rotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) over a double-hulled watercraft unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The approach proposed employs a cascade PID control architecture and is then improved with Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMP). The results presented show that DMP can be used in combination with PID classical control for achieving a more safe and accurate VTOL maneuver.
