Abstract: |
The
development of a navigation system for the landing of a swarm of drones on a
movable surface is one of the major challenges in building a fully autonomous
platform. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the behaviour of a swarm of ten drones under the mission of
soft landing on a movable surface that has a linear speed with the effect of
oscillations. This swarm, arranged in a leader-follower hierarchical manner,
has distributed control units based on Linear Quadratic Regulator control
with integral action technique. Furthermore, to prevent drones from landing
arbitrarily, the leader drone takes the feedback of translational coordinates
from the movable surface and adjusts its position accordingly. Hence, each
follower tracks the leader's trail with offsets, taking collision avoidance into
account. The design parameters of controllers are mapped in a way that the
simulations demonstrate the feasibility and great potential of the proposed
method. |
