Abstract:In this paper, a leader-follower-based cooperative and formation flight control is designed for a group of quadrotors using new forms of fractional sliding mode control (FSMC) strategy accompanied by the potential field algorithm. The FSMC strategy is employed as an inner controller to stabilize each individual UAV quadrotor while the potential field function is used as a formation algorithm (output controller) in order to keep a desired shape formation during the navigation of the fleet. Firstly, the stabilit… Show more
