Abstract

A consensus-based feedback linearization method is proposed to maintain a specified time-varying geometric configuration for formation flying of multiple autonomous vehicles. In this approach, there exists no explicit leader in the team, and the proposed control strategy requires only the local neighbor-to-neighbor information between vehicles. The information flow topology between the vehicles is defined by Graph Laplacian matrix, and the formation flying can be achieved by the proposed feedback linearization with consensus algorithm. The stability analysis of the proposed controller is also performed via eigenvalue analysis for the closed-looop system. Numerical simulation is performed for rotary-wing type micro aerial vehicles to validate the performance of the proposed controller.

본 논문에서는 궤환선형화를 이용한 일치기법을 사용하여 다수 무인기의 편대비행 제어기를 설계하였다. 제안한 기법은 한 대의 리더기를 중심으로 하는 집중형 방식이 아닌 분산형 방식으로, 각 개체의 제어입력은 인접한 개체만의 정보만을 이용하여 설계된다. 라플라시안 행렬을 이용하여 개체 간의 정보 교류를 정의한 후, 궤환선형화 과정을 거친 비행체에 적용하였다. 또한, 본 논문에서 제안한 제어기의 안정성 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 제안한 제어기의 성능을 검증하기 위해서 회전익 무인기 비행체 모델에 대한 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.
