Nonlinear formation flight control algorithm for a pair of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is proposed. The leader-follower approach to formation flight is adopted. The leader maintains a prescribed trajectory while the follower is controlled to track and maintain a fixed relative distance from its leader. Two nonlinear guidance algorithms, Lyapunov and State Dependent Ricatti Equation, (SDRE) based are proposed for the relative guidance of the follower UAV. The resulting formation control systems are tested through simulations and their effectiveness are demonstrated. © 2015, E-flow American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).

Online path planning for unmanned aerial vehicles to maximize instantaneous information
Ergezer, Halit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2021-01-01)
In this article, an online path planning algorithm for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been proposed. The aim is to gather information from target areas (desired regions) while avoiding forbidden regions in a fixed time window starting from the present time. Vehicles should not violate forbidden zones during a mission. Additionally, the significance and reliability of the information collected about a target are assumed to decrease with time. The proposed solution finds each vehicle’s path by s...
Vision-Based Detection and Distance Estimation of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Gökçe, Fatih; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2015-9)
Detection and distance estimation of micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAVs) is crucial for (i) the detection of intruder mUAVs in protected environments; (ii) sense and avoid purposes on mUAVs or on other aerial vehicles and (iii) multi-mUAV control scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, surveillance and exploration. In this article, we evaluate vision algorithms as alternatives for detection and distance estimation of mUAVs, since other sensing modalities entail certain limitations on the environment...
Tilt duct vertical takeoff and landing uninhabited aerial vehicle concept design study
Armutcuoglu, O; Kavsaoglu, MS; Tekinalp, Ozan (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2004-03-01)
A new autonomously controlled tilt-duct vertical takeoff and landing uninhabited aerial vehicle concept is proposed. This design combines the vertical flight capability of a helicopter and forward flight performance of a fixed-wing conventional aircraft. The two main engines and propellers are located inside the tilting ducts attached to the wing tips. There is a third engine-propeller combination located inside the all fuselage for pitch and yaw control during hover and transition. The advantages and disad...
Autonomous quadrotor flight with vision-based obstacle avoidance in virtual environment
Eresen, Aydin; Imamoglu, Nevrez; Efe, Mehmet Onder (Elsevier BV, 2012-01-01)
In this paper, vision-based autonomous flight with a quadrotor type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is presented. Automatic detection of obstacles and junctions are achieved by the use of optical flow velocities. Variation in the optical flow is used to determine the reference yaw angle. Path to be followed is generated autonomously and the path following process is achieved via a PID controller operating as the low level control scheme. Proposed method is tested in the Google Earth (R) virtual environment fo...
Real Time Path Planning for Unmanned Air Vehicles
Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2017-11-01)
This study is about developing an online (real-time) path planning algorithm for multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). The proposed algorithm dynamically finds the path of each vehicle by solving an optimization problem over a planning horizon. The main objective of the optimization problem is to maximize the collected amount of information from targets within a certain interval of time. The importance of the information collected from a targets, if no UAV is flying on the target, decreases with time. Th...
