Nonlinear Control for Uav Formation Flying
نویسنده
چکیده
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) became a technology that have attracted considerable interest in the commercial markets for the military and civilian uses, such as surveillance and reconnaissance, aerial surveys for natural sources, traffic monitoring, early forest fire detection etc. This paper deals with Nonlinear and Model Predictive Control (MPC) of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) flying in formation. Although, UAVs present numerous advantages over the manned aircrafts, they face challenges in various aspects of control in autonomous mode, and even more, in formation flying. An advanced control system is demonstrated as a possible solution to improve and increase the level of the autonomous mode and flying capabilities of UAVs. This paper deals with advanced control system of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) flying in formation. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

Fuzzy Sliding Mode for Spacecraft Formation Control in Eccentric Orbits
The problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. Due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. The slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...
متن کاملNeural Network Control and Wireless Sensor Network-based Localization of Quadrotor UAV Formations
In recent years, quadrotor helicopters have become a popular unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform, and their control has been undertaken by many researchers (Dierks & Jagannathan, 2008). However, a team of UAV’s working together is often more effective than a single UAV in scenarios like surveillance, search and rescue, and perimeter security. Therefore, the formation control of UAV’s has bee...
متن کاملOptimal leader allocation in UAV formation pairs ensuring cooperation
This paper considers the problem of optimally allocating the leader task between pairs of selfish unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying in formation. The UAV that follows the other achieves a fuel benefit. The noncooperative nature of the agents makes it necessary to arbitrate leader-allocation mechanisms that induce collaboration so that the fuel consumption benefits of flying in formation ca...

Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is widely used in many practical engineering fields due to good stability margin and strong robustness. But there is little literature reports the technology that has been used to control the flying wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). In this paper, aiming at the longitudinal static and dynamic characteristics of the flying wing UAV, LQR technology will be intr...
متن کاملA Survey of Spacecraft Formation Flying Guidance and Control (Part 11): Control
Abstruct-Formation flying is defined as a set of more than one spacecraft whose states are coupled through a common control law. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of spacecraft formation flying control (FFC), which encompasses design techniques and stability results for these coupled-state control laws. We divide the FFC literature into five FFC architectures: (i) Multiple-Input Multip...
