Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formation can execute complex collective tasks and reduce the risk and operation difficulty of a single UAV. A distributed formation compound control method with the leader-follower structure is designed based on the prescribed-time stability theory and multi-agent consensus theory for the control of UAV swarm formation in three-dimensional scene.Firstly

a multi-UAVs kinematic model is established by analyzing the relationship between the actual input and the equivalent control.In order to enhance the robustness of UAVs against external disturbances

a prescribed-time convergent extended state observer is designed to achieve online estimation of disturbance based on active disturbance rejection control theory.Furthermore

considering that only the followers connecting to the leader can access the leader's state information

a prescribed-time convergent distributed estimator is introduced to rapidly estimate the leader's state.On this basis

a prescribed-time convergent consensus formation control algorithm is proposed combined with the outputs of the observer and the estimator

and the prescribed-time stability of closed-loop system is proved by Lyapunov theory.The simulated results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.The research results show that the proposed control method can achieve the stable cooperative control of UAV formation within a preset time in the presence of external disturbances.

DOI: 10.1016/j.isatra.2020.09.012 http://doi.org/10.1016/j.isatra.2020.09.012 Prescribed-time Lag consensus, as a special case of prescribed-time cluster lag consensus, is first investigated. The task is to design a control protocol for each follower so that the multiagent system (MAS) achieves lag consensus in any specified time. To achieve this goal, we propose a new distributed controller, in which the control gains are designed as time-varying functions related to the pre-specified time. In addition, a state transformation is introduced to tackle the technical difficulty caused by time-varying functions of different powers in the theoretical proof process. Then, a solution for the cluster lag consensus problem of the MAS is provided, so that under the proposed control protocol, each subsystem composed of followers from the same group and the leader achieves lag consensus with a different lag time in the specified time. By using a state transformation, Graph theory and generalized Lyapunov stability theory, the validity of the designed schemes is verified theoretically and sufficient conditions for the two conclusions are given respectively. Finally, we give two simulation examples to show performances of the proposed solutions.Copyright © 2020 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
