Wind-Aware Reinforcement Learning Control of a Small Quadrotor Using Learned Onboard Wind Estimation in Simulated Atmospheric Turbulence

arXiv:2607. 01528v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Small multirotor aircraft are increasingly tasked with operations in the atmospheric boundary layer, where turbulent winds comparable to the vehicle's airspeed degrade trajectory tracking and can defeat conventional feedback control.

Temporal Learning for End-Effector Position Estimation under Aerodynamic Disturbances in Aerial Continuum Manipulation

This study explores temporal neural networks for estimating the end‑effector position of an aerial continuum manipulator (ACM) affected by aerodynamic disturbances from a UAV. An experimental dataset covering stationary and free‑hovering conditions across various robot configurations and altitudes was used to evaluate strain‑parameterized kinematic models and to benchmark a closed‑form continuous‑time (CfC) neural network against an MLP and a GRU. The CfC network achieved a 22 mm RMSE, outperforming the MLP (36 mm) and GRU (28 mm) by 39.5 % and 20.6 %, respectively, demonstrating the advantage of continuous‑time learning for this task.
