    Description

    The multirotorMissionParser object parses the mission defined in a uavMission object and generates a flight trajectory as a multirotorFlightTrajectory object.

    Creation

    Syntax

    parser = multirotorMissionParser
    parser = multirotorMissionParser(Name=Value)

    Description

    parser = multirotorMissionParser creates a multirotor UAV mission parser parser.

    parser = multirotorMissionParser(Name=Value) specifies properties using one or more name-value arguments.

    example

    Properties

    Transition radius for computing trajectory waypoints based on the mission definition, specified as a positive numeric scalar, in meters.

    Example: multirotorMissionParser(mission,TransitionRadius=3)

    Takeoff speed for the multirotor UAV, specified as a positive numeric scalar, in meters per second. The parser uses this speed to calculate the time required for the multirotor to reach the desired altitude during takeoff and landing.

    Example: multirotorMissionParser(mission,TakeoffSpeed=8)

    Create a UAV mission by using the flight plan stored in a .plan file and show the mission.

    mission = uavMission(PlanFile="flight.plan");
show(mission);
axis equal

    Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel East (m), ylabel North (m) contains 10 objects of type line, text.

    Create parsers for a multirotor UAV and a fixed-wing UAV.

    mrmParser = multirotorMissionParser(TransitionRadius=2,TakeoffSpeed=2);
fwmParser = fixedwingMissionParser(TransitionRadius=15,TakeoffPitch=10);

    Generate one flight trajectory using each parser.

    mrmTraj = parse(mrmParser,mission);
fwmTraj = parse(fwmParser,mission);

    Visualize the waypoints, flight trajectory and body frames for each UAV.
