Optimal formation control of multiple UAVs
Abstract
Formation control is concerned with designing a centralized or decentralized controller that drives all the agents to achieve a desired formation. It has the widest application among cooperative missions. For instance, in the deep-space interferometry mission, multiple spacecraft flying in formation could offer a tremendously larger synthetic aperture to increase the imaging resolution. A team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) cooperatively search an area of interest that contains regions of opportunity or regions of potential hazard. To obtain the most opportunities, the UAVs are required to maintain a proper formation when flying through the region. Formation control problem can be also considered ...
