Formation Merging Control in 3D under Directed and Switching Topologies
The paper studies the formation merging problem for a leader-follower network. That is, how to control a team of agents called followers so that they are merged with a team of agents called leaders to form a larger globally rigid formation. Under the premise that a group of leaders move in a globally rigid formation with their synchronized velocity known to the followers, we show that the follo...
متن کاملFormation control of VTOL Unmanned Aerial Vehicles with communication delays
The formation control problem of a team of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with communication delays is addressed. Based on the extraction algorithm presented in Abdessameud and Tayebi (2010a), we propose a new design methodology that simplifies the design of formation control laws with delayed communication for this class of under-actuated systems. Three co...
متن کاملControl of VTOL vehicles with thrust-tilting augmentation
An approach to the control of a VTOL vehicle equipped with complementary thrusttilting capabilities that nominally yield full actuation of the vehicle’s position and attitude is developed. The particularity and difficulty of the control problem are epitomized by the existence of a maximum tilting angle which forbids complete and decoupled control of the vehicle’s position and attitude in all si...
متن کاملDirected Formation Control with Controllable Interaction Weights
In this paper, we investigate the controllability of a class of formation control systems. Given a directed graph, we assign an agent to each of its vertices and let the edges of the graph describe the information flow in the system. We relate the strongly connected components of this graph to the reachable set of the formation control system. Moreover, we show that the formation control model ...
متن کاملControl of a VTOL UAV via Online Parameter Estimation
Due to their ability to hover and to fly “low and slow” VTOL UAVs are of extreme strategic importance. The task of control of VTOL UAVs is however complicated as they exhibit highly coupled nonlinear dynamics and inherent instability. These intricacies limit the performance of linear control techniques since a single linearized state space model represents only a limited part of the flight enve...
