任务

A mission is a predefined flight plan, which can be planned in QGroundControl and uploaded to the flight controller, and then executed autonomously in Mission mode.

Missions typically include items for controlling taking off, flying a sequence of waypoints, capturing images and/or video, deploying cargo, and landing. QGroundControl allows you to plan missions using a fully manual approach, or you can use its more advanced features to plan ground area surveys, corridor surveys, or structure surveys.

This topic provides an overview of how to plan and fly missions.

规划任务

手动规划任务非常简单:

• 切换到任务视图
• Select the Add Waypoint ("plus") icon in the top left.
• 点击地图添加航点。
• Use the waypoint list on the right to modify the waypoint parameters/type The altitude indicator on the bottom provides a sense of the relative altitude of each waypoint.
• Once finished, click on the Upload button (top right) to send the mission to the vehicle.

You can also use the Pattern tool to automate creation of survey grids.

TIP

For more information see the QGroundControl User Guide.

任务可行性检查

PX4进行了一些基本的健全性检查确定任务是否可行。 For example, whether the mission is close enough to the vehicle, if the mission will conflict with a geofence, or if a mission landing pattern is required but is not present.

检查是在任务上传上传或者任务运行之前立即运行。 如果检查失败，将通知用户不能启动任务。

For more detail on the checks and possible actions, see: Mission Mode (FW) > Mission Feasibility Checks and Mission Mode (MC) > Mission Feasibility Checks.

设置机体航向

If set, a multi-rotor vehicle will yaw to face the Heading value specified in the target waypoint (corresponding to MAV_CMD_NAV_WAYPOINT.param4).

If Heading has not been explicitly set for the target waypoint (param4=NaN) then the vehicle will yaw towards a location specified in the parameter MPC_YAW_MODE. 默认情况下，是指向下一个航点。

Vehicle types that cannot independently control yaw and direction of travel will ignore yaw settings (e.g. Fixed-wing).

设置航点/转弯半径

The acceptance radius defines the circle around a waypoint within which a vehicle considers it has reached the waypoint, and will immediately switch to (and start turning towards) the next waypoint.

For a multi-rotor drones, the acceptance radius is tuned using the parameter NAV_ACC_RAD. 默认情况下，半径设置的很小以确保多旋翼无人机通过航路点上方，但可以增加半径以创建更平滑的路径，这时无人机在到达航路点之前便开始转弯。

下图显示了相同任务以不同的航点半径参数飞行的轨迹：

The speed in the turn is automatically computed based on the acceptance radius (= turning radius) and the maximum allowed acceleration and jerk (see Jerk-limited Type Trajectory for Multicopters).

TIP

For more information about the impact of the acceptance radius around the waypoint see: Mission Mode > Inter-waypoint Trajectory.

Package Delivery (Cargo) Missions

PX4 supports cargo delivery in missions using a gripper.

This kind of mission is planned in much the same as any other waypoint mission, with mission start, takeoff waypoint, various path waypoints, and possibly a return waypoint. The only difference is that a package delivery mission must include a mission items to indicate how the package is released and the deployment mechanism. For more information see: Package Delivery Mission.

飞行任务

任务上传后，切换到飞行视图。 任务将显示为一条航线，这样可以方便跟踪（在此视图中无法修改）。
