This study proposes a flying robot using waterpower and a weight-shifting mechanism for firefighting tasks in water areas. The system's dynamical characteristics are analyzed through mathematical models, and a LQI controller is designed and tuned with a genetic algorithm for optimal performance and robustness. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed system over traditional PID control in terms of motion performance.
This study proposes a flying robot using waterpower and a novel weight-shifting mechanism, whose purpose is to be applied in firefighting tasks in water areas that are difficult to access and are suppressed by conventional firefighting methods. The sufficient amount of water in the area is used for propelling the robot, as well as fire suppression activity. A weight-shifting mechanism governs the weight distribution of the robot head in order to perform the robot motions. In this paper, the system's dynamical characteristics are analyzed in detail through mathematical models. A linear-quadratic integrator (LQI) is designed for controlling the system motion. Additionally, the LQI is tuned with the genetic algorithm (GA) so that both system performance and robustness are optimally preserved. Simulation studies are carried out, in which the proposed system is compared with a cascade proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control system. The results validate the feasibility of the design and show the superiority of the proposed control system in motion performances. Moreover, the LQI-GA consumes 2.28% less water and uses 83.85% less kinetic energy of the actuator than the PID control system.
