Build Status

This package performs random direction coverage with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It is part of the swarm behaviors library.

Dependencies

This package depends on the following message definitions:

The following library packages of the swarm behaviors library are required:

  • swarm_behaviors_position

The following packages of the swarm functions library are required:

  • target_monitor (only if single_target=true)

The following packages of the sensing and actuation library are required:

  • area_provider
  • obstacle_detection

Further required packages are:

Execution

Run the launch file

roslaunch uav_random_direction uav_random_direction.launch

to launch the uav_random_direction node.

The launch file can be configured with following parameters:

  • id (integer, default: 1) The identifier (ID) of the CPS used for name spacing in simulation.
  • output (string, default: screen) Whether to show the program output (screen) or to write it to a log file (log).

In the param subdirectory there is the parameter file uav_random_direction.yaml that allows to configure the behavior of the uav_random_direction node.

Nodes

uav_random_direction

The uav_random_direction performs coverage using the random direction algorithm. The random direction is a mathematical movement model, where an agent moves straight forward until it reaches an obstacle or the environment boundary. There, it changes its direction randomly into a direction that is clear of obstacles. When the parameter single_target is set to true, the UAV succeeds once a target has been found and returns the target ID and position.

Action Goal

  • uav_coverage/goal (cpswarm_msgs/CoverageGoal) A goal that starts the random direction coverage behavior. It contains the altitude at which to operate.

Action Result

Subscribed Topics

  • target_found (cpswarm_msgs/TargetPositionEvent) Position and ID of a target detected by the target monitor. Only subscribed when single_target is set to true.

Services Called

Parameters

  • ~loop_rate (real, default: 5.0) The frequency in Hz at which to run the control loops.
  • ~queue_size (integer, default: 1) The size of the message queue used for publishing and subscribing to topics.
  • ~single_target (boolean, default: true) Whether the algorithm will succeed / terminate once a target has been found.
  • ~margin (real, default: 0.5) The distance in meter to keep to the environment boundary.
  • /rng_seed (integer, default: 0) The seed used for random number generation. In the default case, a random seed is generated.
