Inclined Quadrotor Landing using Deep Reinforcement Learning

2021-03-16 · Jacob E. Kooi, Robert Babuška

Landing a quadrotor on an inclined surface is a challenging maneuver. The final state of any inclined landing trajectory is not an equilibrium, which precludes the use of most conventional control methods. We propose a deep reinforcement learning approach to design an autonomous landing controller for inclined surfaces. Using the proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm with sparse rewards and a tailored curriculum learning approach, an inclined landing policy can be trained in simulation in less than 90 minutes on a standard laptop. The policy then directly runs on a real Crazyflie 2.1 quadrotor and successfully performs real inclined landings in a flying arena. A single policy evaluation takes approximately 2.5\,ms, which makes it suitable for a future embedded implementation on the quadrotor.
