Distributed game strategy for unmanned aerial vehicle formation with external disturbances and obstacles Research Article

Yang YUAN, Yimin DENG, Sida LUO, Haibin DUAN

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2022, Volume 23, Issue 7,   Pages 1020-1031 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2100559

Abstract: We investigate a for formations with external disturbances and obstacles. The strategy is based on a framework and . First, we propose a to estimate the influence of a disturbance, and prove that the observer converges in fixed time using a Lyapunov function. Second, we design an based on topology reconstruction, by which the UAV can save energy and safely pass obstacles. Third, we establish a distributed MPC framework where each UAV exchanges messages only with its neighbors. Further, the cost function of each UAV is designed, by which the UAV formation problem is transformed into a game problem. Finally, we develop LFPIO and use it to solve the Nash equilibrium. Numerical simulations are conducted, and the efficiency of LFPIO based distributed MPC is verified through comparative simulations.

Affine formation tracking control of unmanned aerial vehicles Research Articles

Huiming LI, Hao CHEN, Xiangke WANG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2022, Volume 23, Issue 6,   Pages 909-919 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2100109

Abstract:

The tracking problem for (UAVs) is considered in this paper, where fixed-wing UAVs are modeled as unicycle-type agents with asymmetrical speed constraints. A group of UAVs are required to generate and track a time-varying target formation obtained by affinely transforming a nominal formation. To handle this problem, a distributed control law based on stress matrix is proposed under the leader-follower control scheme. It is proved, theoretically, that followers can converge to the desired positions and achieve affine transformations while tracking diverse trajectories. Furthermore, a saturated control strategy is proposed to meet the speed constraints of fixed-wing UAVs, and numerical simulations are executed to verify the effectiveness of our proposed tracking control strategy in improving maneuverability.

Motion planning of a quadrotor robot game using a simulation-based projected policy iteration method Regular Papers

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2019, Volume 20, Issue 4,   Pages 525-537 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1800571

Abstract:

Making rational decisions for sequential decision problems in complex environments has been challenging researchers in various fields for decades. Such problems consist of state transition dynamics, stochastic uncertainties, long-term utilities, and other factors that assemble high barriers including the curse of dimensionality. Recently, the state-of-the-art algorithms in reinforcement learning studies have been developed, providing a strong potential to efficiently break the barriers and make it possible to deal with complex and practical decision problems with decent performance. We propose a formulation of a velocity varying one-on-one quadrotor robot game problem in the threedimensional space and an approximate dynamic programming approach using a projected policy iteration method for learning the utilities of game states and improving motion policies. In addition, a simulation-based iterative scheme is employed to overcome the curse of dimensionality. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed decision strategy can generate effective and efficient motion policies that can contend with the opponent quadrotor and gather advantaged status during the game. Flight experiments, which are conducted in the Networked Autonomous Vehicles (NAV) Lab at the Concordia University, have further validated the performance of the proposed decision strategy in the real-time environment.
