Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of rendezvous control for manned/unmanned aerial vehicle (MAV/UAV) formation, a rendezvous control strategy for MAV/UAV formation based on path planning-following is designed. Firstly, considering formation rendezvous boundary constraint and anti-collision constrain conditions, a formation rendezvous path planning algorithm based on Dubins curve combined with cooperative simulated annealing particle swarm optimization (CSAPSO) is designed. Then, the rendezvous path generated is set as the desired path, a nonlinear path following control method using dual-loop structure is designed to track the desired path. Lastly, the simulation experiments of path planning and following control method are carried out by Matlab and results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed methods.

Key words: manned/unmanned aerial vehicle(MAV/UAV), formation rendezvous, path planning, path following control, Dubins-cooperative simulated annealing particle swarm optimization (CSAPSO) algorithm, nonlinear control
