In this paper, we present a feed-forward control approach for complex trajectory tracking by a tilting-rotor quadcopter during autonomous flight. Tilting-rotor quadcopter is a more agile version of conventional quadcopter as the propeller motors are actuated to tilt about the quadcopter arm. The tilt-rotor quad-copter is capable of following complex trajectories with ease. In this paper, we employ differential flatness based feed-forward position control by utilizing a combination of propeller rotational speeds along with rotor tilts. The rotational motion of propellers work simultaneously in sync with propeller tilts to control the position and orientation of the UAV during autonomous flight. The results for tracking complex trajectories have been presented by performing numerical simulations and a comparison is shown with respect to conventional quadcopter for similar flight conditions. It has been found that the tilt-rotor quadcopter is more efficient than the conventional quadcopter during complex trajectory following maneuvers.

Abstract In the paper, different approaches for compliance control for human oriented robots are revealed. The approaches based on the non- antagonistic and antagonistic actuation are compared. In addition, an approach is investigated in this work for the compliance and the position control in the joint by means of antagonistic actuation. It is based on the capability of the joint with torsion leaf springs to adjust its stiffness. Models of joint stiffness are presented in this paper with antagonistic and non-antagonistic influence of the spring forces on the joint motion. The stiffness and the position control possibilities are investigated and the opportunity for their decoupling as well. Some results of numerical experiments are presented in the paper too.
