dc.description.abstract | This thesis presents an automatic landing system designed for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) to land in a net placed on ta ship. The UAV used is a Skywalker X8, a cheap
and durable airframe, with a Pixhawk as a low-level autopilot while the high-level autopilot is
written with the LSTS toolchain developed at The Underwater Systems and Technology Laboratory
in Portugal. The high-level autopilot calculates desired speed and attitude with decoupled
lateral and longitudinal line-of-sight (LOS) guidance controllers, while the low-level autopilot
calculates desired elevon angles and throttle based on the desired attitude and speed from the
high-level controller.
The main objective was to design and develop a way of predicting the ship motion in seaway
ensure successful landing attempts. Analysis of ship motion in seaway was conducted which
resulted in that a version of artificial neural networks called long short-term memory networks
(LSTM) was used to predict the separate motions of the ship. Software-in-the-loop (SITL)
demonstrated successful performance of the automatic landing system and the LSTM showed
good results when predicting the ship motion. | en |
