Robust H? Team Formation Tracking Design Methods of Large-Scale UAV Networked Control Systems

This book introduces the centralized robust H? team formation tracking control strategy of multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (multi-UAV) network system under intrinsic random fluctuation, time-varying delay and packet dropout in wireless communication, and external disturbance. A simple robust decentralized H? proportional-integral-derivative (PID) reference tracking network control strategy is introduced for practical applications of team formation of large-scale UAV under control saturation constraint, external disturbance, and vortex coupling. It provides practical design procedures based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) solvable via LMI TOOLBOX in MATLAB (R).

Features:

Focuses on the stabilization of a QUAV under finite-time switching model control (SMC)

Discusses robustness control design for formation tracking in UAV networks

Introduces different robust centralized and decentralized H? attack-tolerant observer-based reference team formation tracking control of large-scale UAVs

Reviews practical case studies in each chapter to introduce the design procedures

Includes design examples of team formation of 25 quadrotor UAVs and a team formation example of five hybrid quadrotor/biped robot sub-teams

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in control and electrical engineering.
