SEP-NMPC: Safety Enhanced Passivity-Based Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for a UAV Slung Payload System
ICRA 2026poster
Model Predictive Control (MPC) is widely adopted for agile multirotor vehicles, yet achieving both stability and obstacle-free flight is particularly challenging when a payload is suspended beneath the airframe. This paper introduces a Safety Enhanced Passivity-Based Nonlinear MPC (SEP-NMPC) that pr…
