摘要:

影响无人机(unmanned aerial vehicle,UAV)集群追踪效果的最大误差来源之一是通讯过载,因此通讯过载进行实时量化处理将直接影响UAV集群追踪性能。首先,针对无人集群编队敏捷追踪时敏目标,提出一种具有量化的自适应控制方法,该方法能够实现集群在通讯受限下依旧保持预设的追踪效果。其次,考虑部分参数未知的一类高阶非线性系统,采用量化理论建立集群编队模型。然后,针对UAV集群模型,采用变量转换思路,获取完整性约束的集群模型,结合反步技术,设计UAV集群追踪控制律,并实时更新模型未知参数;再次,将所提方法与滑模控制、动态面控制进行仿真对比分析,同时对量化特性进行讨论。最后,通过Lyapunov稳定性理论和UAV样机仿真实验,验证所设计控制器的有效性和合理性,对工程实践具有一定指导意义。

Abstract:

One of the largest sources of error affecting the tracking effect of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms is communication overload, so the real-time quantization processing of communication overload directly affects the cluster tracking performance. Firstly, for agile tracking of time-sensitive targets by unmanned cluster formation, a quantized adaptive control method is proposed, which is able to realize that the cluster maintains the preset tracking effect with communication constraints. Secondly, considering a class of high-order nonlinear systems with unknown parameters, a cluster formation model is established, and quantization theory is introduced. Thirdly, for the UAV cluster model, the variable transformation idea is used to obtain the cluster model with integrity constraints, and combined with backstepping technique, UAV cluster tracking control law is designed, and the unknown parameters of the model are updated in real-time. Then, the proposed method is compared and analyzed with sliding mode control and dynamic surface control in simulation, and the quantitative characteristics are discussed and analyzed at the same time. Finally, the validity and rationality of the designed controller are verified by Lyapunov stability theory and UAV prototype simulation experiments, and the proposed method has a guiding significance for engineering application.

Key words: communication constraint, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm formation, time-vary trajectory, tracking control strategy, desired formation shape
