Mid-flight Propeller Failure Detection and Control of Propeller-deficient Quadcopter using Reinforcement Learning
Quadcopters can suffer from loss of propellers in mid-flight, thus requiring a need to have a system that detects single and multiple propeller failures and an adaptive controller that stabilizes the propeller-deficient quadcopter. This paper presents reinforcement learning based controllers for quadcopters with 4, 3, and 2 (opposing) functional propellers. The paper also proposes a neural network based propeller fault detection system to detect propeller loss and switch to the appropriate controller. The simulation results demonstrate a stable quadcopter with efficient waypoint tracking for all controllers. The detection system is able to detect propeller failure in a short time and stabilize the quadcopter.
