Summary: | This paper addresses the leader-follower formation control problem. A backstepping control strategy is proposed based on the formation kinematic model, which is formulated using the cooperative dual-task space framework. A group of tilt-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is used as case study, in which one UAV performs path tracking while being followed by the others. To accomplish this task, a linear state-feedback D-stable H-infinity controller is designed for each individual based on the UAV's linearized dynamic equations. Simulation results considering constant external disturbances are shown to highlight the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed formation control strategy. Moreover, the proposed strategy is compared with the known task-space inverse dynamics technique. |
