Strategic Cattle Roundup using Multiple Quadrotor UAVs
Sunghun Jung, Kartik B. Ariyur · International Journal of Aeronautical and Space Sciences · 2017
Four quadrotor UAVs are maneuvered to guide four animals into their pen within the minimum time by creating noises of predators modeled with an exponential function. The quadrotor UAVs are controlled via PID controllers, follow time optimal trajectories, and avoid collisions through altitude separations. The stability of the proposed PID controller is analyzed and verified using MATLAB/Simulink based simulations. Proposed step by step strategies would be practical solutions of actual cattle roundup problems.
