Distributed Formation Control of Multiple Quadrotor Aircraft Based on Nonsmooth Consensus Algorithms
Open accessAbstract
The problem of distributed formation control for multiple quadrotor aircraft in the form of leader-follower structure is considered in this paper. Based on a nonsmooth backstepping design, a novel consensus formation control algorithm is proposed and utilized. First, for the position control subsystem, based on the linear quadratic regulator optimal design method, a formation control law for multiple quadrotor aircraft is designed such that the positions of all the quadrotor aircraft converge to the desired formation pattern. The designed formation control law for position systems will generate the desired attitude for the attitude control systems. Second, for the attitude control subsystem described by unit quaternion, by employing the technique of finite-time control and switch control, a global bounded finite-time attitude tracking controller is designed such that the desired attitude can be tracked by the multiple quadrotor aircraft in finite time. Finally, numerical example is performed to demonstrate that all quadrotor aircraft converge to the desired formation pattern in the 3-D-space.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
