Abstract

This work proposes a high-level control system designed for an Aerial Service Vehicle capable of performing complex tasks in close and physical interaction with the environment in an autonomous manner. We designed a hybrid control architecture which integrates task, path, motion planning/replanning, and execution monitoring. The high-level system relies on a continuous monitoring and planning cycle to suitably react to events, user interventions, and failures, communicating with the low level control layers. The system has been assessed on real-world and simulated scenarios representing an industrial environment.
