Randomized Algorithm for UAVs Group Flight Optimization
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of small UAVs flight optimization is considered. To solve this problem thermal updrafts are used. For the precise detection of the thermal updrafts center the simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) type algorithm is proposed. If UAVs use thermal updrafts so they can save the energy during the flight. Therefore the flight time will be vary for different UAVs. In order to optimize the area monitoring, the consensus approach has been proposed.

Automatic tuning of a behavior-based guidance algorithm for formation flight of quadrotors
This paper presents a tuned behavior-based guidance algorithm for formation flight of quadrotors. The behavior-based approach provides the basis for the simultaneous realization of different behaviors such as leader following and obstacle avoidance for a group of agents; in our case they are quadcopters. In this paper optimization techniques are utilized to tune the parameters of a behavior-bas...

This paper presents a method for formation flight and collision avoidance of multiple UAVs. Due to the shortcomings such as collision avoidance caused by UAV's high-speed and unstructured environments, this paper proposes a modified tentacle algorithm to ensure the high performance of collision avoidance. Different from the conventional tentacle algorithm which uses inverse derivation, the modi...

متن کاملFlight test results for UAVs using boid guidance algorithms
A critical technology for operating groups of Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is distributed guidance. Distributed guidance allows an operator to command several vehicles at the same time, reduces operator workload, and adds redundancy to the system. Some of the leading software candidates for achieving distributed guidance are known as Boid Guidance Algorithms (BGAs), which are agent-based ...
