Leader-Follower Formation Control for Quadrotors
Falin Wu, Jiemin Chen, Yuan Liang · IOP Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering · 2017
Quadrotors are gaining an increasing interest in public and extensively explored in recent years. In many situations, a team of quadrotors is desired to operate in a certain shape, which is also called formation. In this paper, a linear PID controller is used to control each single quadrotor and a slide mode controller is adopted to solve the formation flying problem which employs the leader-follower structure. The formation simulations are run in the Matlab/Simulink environment to evaluate the performance of control laws.
