Book description
In the last decade the development and control of Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs) has attracted a lot of interest. Both researchers and
companies have a growing interest in improving this type of vehicle
given their many civilian and military applications.
This book
presents the state of the art in the area of UAV Flight Formation. The
coordination and robust consensus approaches are presented in detail
as well as formation flight control strategies which are validated in
experimental platforms. It aims at helping students and academics
alike to better understand what coordination and flight formation
control can make possible.
Several novel methods are
presented:
- controllability and observability of multi-agent
systems;
- robust consensus;
- flight formation
control;
- stability of formations over noisy
networks;
which generate solutions of guaranteed performance for
UAV Flight Formation.
