Abstract(s)
We present a multirotor architecture capable of aggressive autonomous flight
and collision-free teleoperation in unstructured, GPS-denied environments. The
proposed system enables aggressive and safe autonomous flight around clutter by
integrating recent advancements in visual-inertial state estimation and
teleoperation. Our teleoperation framework maps user inputs onto smooth and
dynamically feasible motion primitives. Collision-free trajectories are ensured
by querying a locally consistent map that is incrementally constructed from
forward-facing depth observations. Our system enables a non-expert operator to
safely navigate a multirotor around obstacles at speeds of 10 m/s. We achieve
autonomous flights at speeds exceeding 12 m/s and accelerations exceeding 12
m/s^2 in a series of outdoor field experiments that validate our approach.
