In this paper, formation of a group of multiple cooperative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a desired geometrical pattern while tracking an aerial target is implemented using decentralized Learning Based Model Predictive Control (LBMPC). The LBMPC is a new control technique that combines statistical learning along with control engineering providing guarantees on safety, robustness and convergence...
In order to achieve a high degree of operational flexibility, it is often required to recover small UAVs without infrastructure such as a runway. To help overcome this difficulty, deep stall landing can be used as a landing method on small space. The UAV is in a deep stall when the angle of attack is beyond the stall angle, and the condition causes the UAV to loose height rapidly. In the post-stall...
This paper presents a method to generate and follow a smallest weighted path in 3D by quadcopter. A smallest weighted path is obtained using Dijkstra's algorithm based on terrain information. To follow the generated path we use a Model predictive control that takes constraints on jerks, position and angular acceleration on the quadcopter. Simulation results are presented to validate our approach.
