Abstract

This chapter proposes a sampled-data model predictive control (MPC) architecture to solve the decentralized cooperative path-following (CPF) problem of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In the cooperative path-following proposed scenario, which builds on previous work on CPF, multiple vehicles are required to follow pre-specified paths at nominal speed profiles (that may be path dependent) while keeping a desired, possibly time-varying, geometric formation pattern. In the proposed framework, we exploit the potential of optimization-based control strategies with significant advantages on explicitly addressing input and state constraints and on the ability to allow the minimization of meaningful cost functions. An example consisting of three fixed wing UAVs that are required to follow a given desired maneuver illustrates the proposed framework. We highlight and discuss some features of the UAVs trajectories.
