Sami El Ferik, Basem Almadani, Siddig M. Elkhider · IEEE Access · 2020
In this paper formation control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System (UAVs) is introduced. L1controller with potential field technique and Data Distribution Service (DDS) middleware used for the navigation of the agents, which is multi-UAVs. L1adaptive controller used to stabilizing the general equations of motion of each UAVs and the potential field technique used to formalize the followers around the leader. The exchanging data between the leader and the followers done through publisher/subscriber DDS middleware. This L1controller has a high performance coming from a robust adaptation of it. Robustness of the L1controller verified using Matlab Simulation. The Lyapunov method provided the analysis and stability of the framework of UAVs.
