Plane: Takeoff improvements #27758

Georacer · 2024-08-05T15:45:49Z

This PR fixes TECS oscillations that would occur once mode TAKEOFF would reach TKOFF_ALT.
Additionally, it harmonizes the takeoff behaviour between modes AUTO and TAKEOFF.
Finally, it fixes a few bugs.

Many thanks to @Hwurzburg for sharing code for fixing the pitch setpoint.

Notable behaviour changes

Mode TAKEOFF and AUTO now behave identically during a takeoff.
TKOFF_LVL_ALT now also affects AUTO mode.
TAKEOFF mode now respects the level-off angles, as it approaches altitude. There should now be significantly less overshoot.
The behaviour of TKOFF_ROTATION_SPD now works as advertized. It was inactive before.

Notable code changes

Mode TAKEOFF now spends all of the climb in FlightStage::TAKEOFF, just like AUTO mode did.
TECS::set_pitch_max_limit() is now split into TECS::set_pitch_max() and TECS::set_pitch_min(). Its usage in quadplane.cpp has been modified accordingly.
TECS pitch limits are now applied at the end of the calculation. Before, vertical acceleration limitations were applied last.
TECS: _post_TO_hgt_offset will now never pull height demand above the target altitude.
mode_takeoff.cpp is now prevented from switching behaviours from past TKOFF_ALT-2m back to climb behaviour. This would cause behaviour switching if the plane would drop slightly lower than 2m from TKOFF_ALT.
There are many occasions were TECS is overridden both in pitch and throttle. When that happens, TECS is now effectively inactive and will reset itself.
Changed behaviour of TECS_PITCH_MIN to match description.
servos.cpp now doesn't try to enforce all of the takeoff throttle logic combinations. Only TKOFF_THR_MAX and TKOFF_THR_MIN.

Tests

The following were tested in autotests:

Altitude and pitch no longer oscillation upon reaching the takeoff altitude. ✅
TAKEOFF and AUTO takeoffs now behave exactly the same in all combinations of ARSPD_USE and TKOFF_OPTIONS. ✅
The level-off of minimum pitch demand now works in TAKEOFF. ✅
When TKOFF_ROTATE_SPD is nonzero, pitch demand will be 5deg before the rotation speed and will climb up to the minimum takeoff pitch for groundspeed equal to cruise airspeed. ✅

The following were tested in manual SITL:

Altitude and pitch no longer oscillation upon reaching the takeoff altitude. ✅
The level-off of minimum pitch demand now works in TAKEOFF. ✅
When TKOFF_ROTATE_SPD is nonzero, pitch demand will be 5deg before the rotation speed and will climb up to the minimum takeoff pitch for groundspeed equal to cruise airspeed. ✅

Known issues

Ground speed is used in some airspeed comparisons.
If AUTO is engaged while in flight and has a NAV_TAKEOFF point, it will force the pitch to positive while it gets processed. This lasts for a few cycles.
The SITL plane doesn't regulate pitch well when it's flying at full throttle and fast. Nothing to do with this PR, just an observation.

Future work

I noticed that if you load a mission before you get a GNSS fix, the NAV_TAKEOFF waypoint (i.e. next_WP_loc) will be set at coordinates at the home coordinates and altitude. This can break some takeoff logic in AUTO mode.
Render TKOFF_LVL_ALT a higher-level parameter, as it is now used also by AUTO mode, not just TAKEOFF.

I don't believe this can cause adverse effects.
Once the plane reached TKOFF_ALT, we can be confident that we can let TECS take over, and stop calling takeoff_calc_pitch() and takeoff_calc_throttle().

The only cases I could find where we are calling takeoff_calc_pitch() are in mode TAKEOFF and in mode AUTO when we are serving a takeoff or aborted landing items.
Thus the if-check is redundant.

This allows AUTO mode to have access to TKOFF_LVL_ALT logic.

Previously external pitch limits were applied before vertical acceleration. This would lead to the resulting pitch demand to exceed the external limits.
While this means that the final pitch demand might violate vertical acceleration, I feel it's more important to respect the external limits.

@priseborough are you ok with this re-ordering?

The offset is now a little smarter:
If TECS is externally overridden, there's little point in having it.

In normal operation, we don't want to have the offset bring the demanded height above the raw target, as it leads to altitude overshoots in general. And we also don't want it to become negative.

Here;s a small opening to a potential bug. This offset is the only mechanism for adding throttle (energy) during FlightStage::TAKOFF. As it becomes zero as the altitude error becomes zero, throttle would also become zero and could lead to the altitude error never actually closing.
TKOFF_THR_MIN (default=0.6) is necessary to ensure that we will reach the altitude.

use_throttle_range was a bug here on my part. When TKOFF_OPTIONS=1 is irrelevant to using TKOFF_THR_MIN.

Granted, this section would be better if it was identical to how TKOFF_THR_MAX is used above.

I think there should be only one call into TECS to give the limits for the next loop, not two calls giving different limits

ArduPlane/mode.h

Georacer · 2024-08-15T18:02:13Z

This is me thinking out loud and writing down my thought process:

In the last dev call one of the review points was that TECS throttle limits should be set (through the TECS.set_throttle_min/max() in one place in the codebase.
The current situation where multiple places invoke this and affect the limits is confusing.

Currently there are 3 places in the codebase that make decisions on the throttle limits and 2 places where the throttle is actually written.

Plane::update_control_mode() runs as a FAST_TASK, on every loop, calling the update() of each throttle-controlling flight mode.
- This invokes eventually Plane::takeoff_calc_throttle(), which writes throttle limits to TECS,
- then asks TECS for the throttle output in `Plane::calc_throttle(),
- then writes on

SRV_Channels::set_output_scaled(SRV_Channel::k_throttle, commanded_throttle);

servos.cpp:set_servos() runs as a FAST_TASK, on every loop.
- These will overwrite the SRV_Channel::k_throttle values (assuming it runs after update_control_mode(), as it has lower priority).
- They will also set the new, final limits to TECS.
TECS control updates occur under the update_alt() task, at 10Hz.

Regarding which piece of code enacts which piece of logic:

TECS logic takes into account:

THR_MAX/MIN
TKOFF_THR_MAX/MIN
TKOFF_THR_MAX_T
FlightStage, as a dependency of the above.
landing.is_flaring() to set min to 0.

Plane::takeoff_calc_throttle() logic takes into account:

TKOFF_THR_MAX/MIN
TKOFF_OPTIONS

Plane::apply_throttle_limits() logic takes into account:

THR_MAX/MIN
TKOFF_THR_MAX/MIN
landing.is_flaring() to set min to 0.

What I think I'll do is:

Move all usage of THR_MAX/MIN to Plane::apply_throttle_limits()
Move all usage of landing.is_flaring() to apply_throttle_limits().
Move all usage of TKOFF_THR_MAX/MIN, TKOFF_THR_MAX_T,TKOFF_OPTIONS to takeoff_calc_throttle(). After all the takeoff part of the codebase is the one that should logically apply the takeoff-related parameters.
takeoff_calc_throttle() will calculate throttle limits and store them in _tkoff_thr_max/min. These will also be retrievable via get_tkoff_thr_max/min. Care is needed that they will get restored when takeoff_calc_throttle() is no longer called.
apply_throttle_limits() will bring in get_tkoff_thr_max/min() and take it into account towards calculating the limited_throttle. It will then set those limits to TECS. This will be the only place to do so, because it knows the final limits that are used.

Georacer · 2024-08-16T17:07:15Z

I've pushed another pair of commits to address the review comments in the last Dev Call:
The throttle limits logic has been refactored such that:

TECS is now completely agnostic of the throttle limits. On every control iteration servos.cpp:apply_throttle_limits() is expected to set them.
servos.cpp:apply_throttle_limits() does not take into account takeoff-related throttle parameters. They have all been moved to takeoff.cpp. apply_throttle_limits() is expected to query takeoff.cpp for the limts, where applicable.
takeoff_calc_throttle() now writes the takeoff related throttle limits into takeoff_state new struct members.

Georacer · 2024-08-20T07:40:20Z

I went over @peterbarker 's flight test logs.
All went as expected: he had set up ARSPD_USE=0 and TKOFF_OPTIONS=0, so the aircraft climbed at full throttle until TKOFF_ALT or until TKOFF_DIST
It followed the takeoff profile desired pitch exactly, except for the intervals where the pilot mixed pitch input, as expected.

Thanks Peter!

I'm concerned that the glider-pull-up stuff is breaking in here...

Henry was testing with Andrew yesterday and he told me a couple of days ago that might be an issue with the recent pullup PR itself; so I didn't pay much attention.
But I can take another look, of course, in the next few days.

George, Tridge was going to merge until you pushed again....he and I went over the previous pushes vs my testing yesterday and was happy to merge...but then you pushed again, with what changes, I don't know...we need to stick a pin in this or we will revert your previous takeoff changes so 4.6 can roll out...I don't look forward to asking Tridge again to figure out if the changes you last pushed need retesting!

tridge · 2024-09-25T22:41:02Z

@Hwurzburg we do need to work out why GliderPullup is failing

Georacer · 2024-09-26T14:41:38Z

The GliderPullup test should now pass on my latest commit.
What changed is that now pitch target is (as in master) first capped by min/max and then rate-limited. (CASE M)
Instead of being rate-limited first and then capped (CASE P).

Case M can lead to the TECS pitch target being outside of the externally passed min/max.

In my opinion that test is only accidentally passing, thanks to this TECS "quirk".
In Case M, the TECS pitch reference only gradually rises to compensate for altitude, even though the mission Takeoff item force a positive minimum pitch
This gives enough time for the vehicle to gain forwards velocity:

In Case P, when the Takeoff mission item is processed (t~=271) the TECS minimum pitch is set to 15deg and the demanded pitch is immediately set there.
Thus the aircraft pulls the nose up earlier and never gains forward velocity.
It falls flat all the way to the ground.

In any case... I'm happy to forfeit this change for now to make the test content.

- Refactor and split set_pitch_max_limit method. - New _update_pitch_limits to encapsulate all relevant functionality. - Automatically reset if pitch and throttle are overriden. - nullified TAKEOFF alt_dem offset on external throttle. - Simplify use of TKOFF_THR_MIN. - Prevent takeoff altitude overshoot by capping the altitude setpoint offset. - Move pitch limits after vertical acceleration limitation.

- TAKEOFF and AUTO flight modes now should have identical takeoff - Prevent behaviour switching past climb altitude in TAKEOFF mode. - Refactor set_pitch_min/max methods. Max was already there, now renamed. Min is newly introduced. behaviour. - Remove enforcement of min takeoff throttle logic from servos.cpp. It is now handled only by takeoff.cpp. - Take TKOFF_LVL_ALT into consideration in AUTO as well. - Fixed pitch setpoint when TKOFF_ROTATE_SPD>0. - Roll navigation in mode TAKEOFF during climb should now work again. - Now the TAKEOFF loiter waypoint is set by the bearing of the aircraft while on TKOFF_LVL_ALT, as in the last stable release, instead of TKOFF_ALT. - Using TRIM_THROTTLE in takeoffs, when TKOFF_THR_MIN==0

- Also added a ground rolling takeoff test. - Rebased conflict resolution originating from ArduPilot#28030

@Hwurzburg what Peter is talking about is something different:

We were discussing in the dev call today that pure gliders (no motor) should probably be set with a maximum pitch angle that is close to zero (or negative), such that they can't pull their nose up and stall.
