Multi-UAVs formation control based on artificial physics

In this paper, we propose a control method based on the artificial physics and leader-follower strategy for the multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) formation control. Compared with the existing methods, the main contribution of this paper is that we design a formation controller based on the modified artificial physics for the fixed-wing UAVs with the velocity and roll angle constraints and the real quadrotor systems. The advantages of our control strategy are simple, scalable, robust and distributed.
