In this paper, we propose a four 2-link robotic leg landing system that is used for leveling the bottom of the landing system, even when the quadcopter posture is changed. The case of conventional skid type landing gear has a risk when the quadcopter lands on a moving vehicle because the skid type landing gear is tilted to the landing site at this situation. To solve this problem, it is necessary to level the bottom of the landing system when the quadcopter posture is changed in the flight. Therefore, the proposed landing system used a four 2-link robotic leg with leveling method. The leveling method was derived from the method of determining a plane. The superiority of the proposed system was verified with 6-axis stewart platform and real flight experiment, and it shows feasibility of leveling method and proposed landing system.

In this paper, we propose an intelligent three-legged landing system that can maintain stability and level even on rough terrain than conventional four-legged landing systems. Conventional landing gear has the limitation that it requires flat terrain for landing. The 3-leg landing system proposed in this paper extends the usable range of the legs and reduces the weight, allowing the quadcopter to operate in various environments. To do this, kinematics determine the joint angles and coordinates of the legs of the two-link structure. Based on the angle value of the quadcopter detected via the IMU sensor, the leg control method that corrects the posture is determined. A force sensor attached to the end of the leg is used to detect contact with the ground. At the moment of contact with the ground, landing control starts according to the value of the IMU sensor. The proposed system verifies its reliability in various environments through an indoor landing test stand. Finally, in an outdoor environment, the quadcopter lands on a 20 degree incline and 20 cm rough terrain after flight. This demonstrates the stability and effectiveness of the 3-leg landing system even on rough terrain compared to the 4-leg landing system.

It is of great significance to utilize a landing mechanism to explore an asteroid. A landing mechanism named ALISE (Asteroid Landing and In Situ Exploring) for asteroid with soft surface is presented. The landing dynamic in the first turning stage, which represents the landing performance of the landing mechanism, is built by a Lagrange equation. Three key parameters can be found influencing the landing performance: the retro-rocket thrust T, damping element damping $c_1$, and cardan element damping $c_2$. In this paper, the retro-rocket thrust T is solved with considering that the landing mechanism has no overturning in extreme landing conditions. The damping element damping c1 is solved by a simplified dynamic model. After solving the parameters T and $c_1$, the cardan element damping $c_2$ is calculated using the landing dynamic model, which is built by Lagrange equation. The validities of these three key parameters are tested by simulation. The results show a stable landing, when landing with the three estimated parameters T, $c_1$, and $c_2$. Therefore, the landing dynamic model and methods to estimate key parameters are reasonable, and are useful for guiding the design of the landing mechanism.

Taking the four-wheel bogie landing gear as an example, the force status of truck-like landing gear during the landing impact was analyzed and the simulation model of four-wheel bogie landing gear was established. Firstly, a landing gear prototyping model was established using CATIA and imported to LMS Virtual.lab. Secondly, dynamic analysis of the landing impact was simulated with the established model. Finally, with the help of LMS Virtual.lab's parametric design ability, the effects of landing approach and truck pitch angle on the landing performance, truck motion and truck beam strength were studied. These conclusions will be useful to the design and analysis of the truck.

In this study, the dynamic characteristics for the wheel-type landing gear system of helicopter have been analyzed. Nonlinear multi-body dynamic models of the landing gear system are constructed and the equations of motion, kinematics and internal forces of shock strut are considered. In addition, flexibility effect of the wheel axle with equivalent beam element is taken into account. General purpose commercial finite code, SAMCEF which includes MECANO module is applied. The results of dynamic simulation for various landing and weight conditions are presented and compared with each other. Based on the results, characteristics of impact dynamic behaviors of the landing gear system are practically investigated.

본 논문에서는 소형항공기용 유-공압 방식(oleo pneumatic type) 착륙장치의 낙하특성을 연구하였다. 본 연구대상의 착륙장치의 방식은 미터링 핀이 없는 단순 유-공압 방식댐퍼 이다. 일반적으로 유-공압 방식의 착륙장치는 단순한 구조로 되어 있어 무게가 가볍고 좋은 충격흡수 효율을 가진다. 낙하해석을 위하여 상용 코드인 MSC ADAMS를 이용하여 모델링 하였다. 모델링한 후에 해석과 시험결과의 상사성을 검증하기 위하여 일련의 시험이 수행되었다. 시험과 해석결과의 보다 좋은 일치성을 얻기 위하여 해석 모델에 공동현상 효과가 고려되었다. 공동현상을 고려한 착륙장치의 동적 거동 시뮬레이션 결과들이 현저하게 개선되었으며 시험결과와 보다 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 신뢰성이 검증된 해석모델을 이용하여 경사면에 대해서 해석적 방법을 통해 낙하특성을 예측하였다.

This paper deals with auto-landing guidance system design applicable to Smart UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The proposed guidance law generates horizontal position, velocity and altitude commands in the longitudinal channel and heading angle command in the lateral channel to track a predetermined trajectory for automatic landing. The longitudinal guidance commands are derived from an approximated dynamic equations in vertical plane. These longitudinal guidance commands are appropriately distributed to each control input as the flight mode of Smart UAV is changed. The concept of VOR(VHF Omni-directional Range) guidance system is applied to generate the required heading angle commands to eliminate the lateral deviation from the desired trajectory. The performance of the proposed guidance system for Smart UAV is evaluated using the nonlinear simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed guidance system for auto- landing provides good tracking performance along the predetermined landing trajectory.
