Time - Critical Cooperative Path Following of Multiple UAVs over Time - Varying Networks ∗
This paper addresses the problem of steering a fleet of UAVs along desired paths while meeting stringent spatial and temporal constraints. A representative example is the challenging mission scenario where the vehicles are tasked to cooperatively execute collision-free maneuvers and arrive at their final destinations at the same time (time-critical operations). In the setup adopted, the vehicle...
متن کاملFuzzy Adaptive Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Carrying Time-Varying Cargo on Predefined Path
At present, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been increased dramatically. The reasons for this development are cheapness, smallness, simplicity, and diversity of missions. The simplicity of guidance and control of multi-rotor drones is that they are equipped with an autopilot system. This system is responsible for flying control. UAVs do not have a high weight and often have three...
متن کاملTime-Coordinated Path Following of Multiple UAVs over Time-Varying Networks using L1 Adaptation
Motivated by challenging mission scenarios, this paper tackles the problem of multiUnmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) cooperative control in the presence of time-varying communication networks. Specifically, we address the problem of steering a fleet of UAVs along given paths (path following) so as to meet spatial and/or temporal constraints. One possible scenario is the situation where a fleet of v...
متن کاملCooperative Flight Guidance of Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
As robotic platforms and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) increase in sophistication and complexity, the ability to determine the spatial orientation and placement of the platform in real time (localization) becomes an important issue. Detecting and extracting locations of objects, barriers, and openings is required to ensure the overall effectiveness of the device. Current methods to achieve lo...
متن کاملTime-Critical Cooperative Path Following of Multiple UAVs: Case Studies
This paper describes a multi-vehicle motion control framework for time-critical cooperative missions and evaluates its performance by considering two case studies: a simultaneous arrival mission scenario and a sequential auto-landing of a fleet of UAVs. In the adopted setup, the UAVs are assigned nominal spatial paths and speed profiles along those, and the vehicles are then tasked to execute c...
