Abstract:

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are playing an increasingly crucial role in many applications such as search and rescue, delivery services, and military operations. However, one of the significant challenges in this area is to plan efficient and safe trajectories for UAV formations. This paper presents an optimization procedure for trajectory planning for fixed-wing UAV formations using graph theory and clothoid curves. The proposed planning strategy consists of two main steps. Firstly, the geometric optimization of paths is carried out using graphs for each UAV, providing piece-wise linear pa

Abstract:

This paper reports on the formation and transformation of multiple fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in three-dimensional space. A cooperative guidance law based on the classic missile-type parallel-approach method is designed for the multi-UAV formation control problem. Additionally, formation transformation strategies for multi-UAV autonomous assembly, disbandment, and special circumstances are formed, effective for managing and controlling the formation. When formulating the management strategy for formation establishment, its process is divided into three steps: (i) selecting and

Abstract:

The formation control technology of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm is a current research hotspot, and formation switching and formation obstacle avoidance are vital technologies. Aiming at the problem of formation control of fixed-wing UAVs in distributed ad hoc networks, this paper proposed a route-based formation switching and obstacle avoidance method. First, the consistency theory was used to design the UAV swarm formation control protocol. According to the agreement, the self-organized UAV swarm could obtain the formation waypoint according to the current position information, an

Abstract:

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have multi-domain applications, fixed-wing UAVs being a widely used class. Despite the ongoing research on the topics of guidance and formation control of fixed-wing UAVs, little progress is known on implementation of semi-physical validation platforms (software-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop) for such complex autonomous systems. A semi-physical simulation platform should capture not only the physical aspects of UAV dynamics, but also the cybernetics aspects such as the autopilot and the communication layers connecting the different components. Such a cyber

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new algorithm to solve the control problem for a special class of distance-based directed formations, namely directed-triangulated Laman graphs. The central idea of the algorithm is to construct a virtual point for the agents who have more than two neighbors by employing the information of the desired formation. Compared with the existing methods, the proposed algorithm can make the distance error between the agents converge faster and the path consumption is less. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is modified to be operable for the small fixed-wing UAV model with nonho

Abstract:

SummaryPosition-tracking problems in the structures of rigid formations of nonholonomic mobile robots, such as fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs), must reconcile tracking precision and flight stability, which usually exclude each other due to nonholonomic motion constraints. Therefore, a position-tracking control that is based on distance and position displacement, defined as inputs of control loops, requires the application of dead zones around target positions, which are the points of instability. For this reason, the control becomes sensitive to any external disturbance causing oscil

Abstract:

The article proposes a control method for autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) group of a fixed-wing type intended to both implement and support flight information with predetermined relative distances between the vehicles. The suggested approach provides any selected geometric formation shape construction and further preservation when UAVs enter a straight-line trajectory described by a given course with arbitrary initial positions of UAVs in the horizontal plane. The proposed method feature is "autopilot—UAV" system’s nonlinear structure consideration, manifesting itself in both the au

Abstract:

Flocking for fixed-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is an extremely complex challenge due to fixed-wing UAV’s control problem and the system’s coordinate difficulty. Recently, flocking approaches based on reinforcement learning have attracted attention. However, current methods also require that each UAV makes the decision decentralized, which increases the cost and computation of the whole UAV system. This paper researches a low-cost UAV formation system consisting of one leader (equipped with the intelligence chip) with five followers (without the intelligence chip), and proposes a centr
