Research on Multi-UAVs’ Sliding Mode Consensus Formation Control with Delay and Disturbance Constraints

Abstract

A consensus-based sliding mode formation control algorithm for the multi-unmanned-aerial-vehicles'(multi-UAVs') system with delay and disturbance constraints in three dimensional(3D) environment is presented. Firstly, a consensus algorithm is presented by considering the time delay. Secondly, the trajectory tracking and robustness of the formation system to the external disturbance is ensured by using the sliding mode controller(SMC). The effectiveness of the present algorithms is verified by the simulation results.
