The Null Space Based Cooperative Formation Control for UAVs Swarm

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the formation problem of UAVs swarm is studied based on a combination of the potential functions. On the basis of mathematical models of the traditional artificial potential field,a new formation potential function is proposed. The potential functions is merged using null space control strategy which is capable of dealing with conflicts among elementary potential functions and avoid local minimum problem. The results achieved by computer simulations suggest that the control approach can produces good effect.
