PSO&PID controller design of UAV formation flight
Minghuan Zhang · 2016
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV) formation flight controller is presented in this paper. This controller is designed based on Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO) & PID algorithms. Simulation of formation keeping and transformation is achieved under Matlab/Simulink, and the performance of the PSO&PID controller is compared with Fuzzy&PID controller. Our approach can solve the quasi-optimal problem while the Fuzzy&PID controller often tend to fall into. The simulation results and their analysis show the short accommodation time, small overshoot and the robustness and stability of our proposed method, and thus proving the controller in this paper to be feasible and effective.
