Human-in-Loop Hierarchical Control of Multi-UAV Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) possess tremendous capabilities to perform search, tracking and situation assessment in hazardous environments. However, it sometimes becomes critical to include a human component and offset the limited reasoning of agents. This paper presents Human-in-Loop (HiL) control architecture for distributed and cooperative target search. Hierarchical autonomy provides tight control over the system, enhancing operational reliability, search efficiency and effectiveness. Human feedback also provides significant edge in terms of mission reconfiguration.

Dynamic-Fuzzy-Neural-Networks-Based Control of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
In this paper, hierarchical control of an UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is proposed. The proposed controller is made up of two sub-systems, namely inner-loop controller and outer-loop controller. The inner-loop controller is an attitude control system while the outer-loop control system is a trajectory control system. In the proposed architecture, a DFNN-(dynamic-fuzzy-neural-network-) based re...
متن کاملLatency Compensation in Multi Chaotic Systems Using the Extended OGY Control Method
The problem discussed in this paper is the effect of latency time on the OGY chaos control methodology in multi chaotic systems. The Smith predictor, rhythmic and memory strategies are embedded in the OGY chaos control method to encounter loop latency. A comparison study is provided and the advantages of the Smith predictor approach are clearly evident from the closed loop responses. The comple...
متن کاملReal-time Implementation and Validation of a New Hierarchical Path Planning Scheme of UAVs via Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
We present a real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation environment for the validation of a new hierarchical path planning and control algorithm for a small fixed-wing UAV. The complete control algorithm is validated through on-board, realtime implementation on a small autopilot having limited computational resources. We present two distinct real-time software frameworks for implementing t...
متن کاملAdaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...
متن کاملError assessment in man-machine systems using the CREAM method and human-in-the-loop fault tree analysis
Background and Objectives: Despite contribution to catastrophic accidents, human errors have been generally ignored in the design of human-machine (HM) systems and the determination of the level of automation (LOA). This paper aims to develop a method to estimate the level of automation in the early stage of the design phase considering both human and machine performance. Methods: A quantita...
