Path Following Control for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Based on Carrot Chasing Algorithm and PLOS
Xue Jin, Mei Wu, Yang Zhaolong · 2020
One of the reasons that UAVs play an important role in many fields is that they can follow paths accurately. The information on the comparison of the path following algorithms is far from enough. In order to make an intensive study of path following problem, we use a kinematic model to compare and analyze Carrot chasing algorithm and PLOS algorithm. The comparison of the path following algorithms is carried out through simulations. The results show that the UAV can track the target paths accurately with each of the algorithms. We can figure out that it is important to select the proper gains in the guidance laws for great path following performances.
