Data Driven Model-Free Adaptive Control Method for Quadrotor Formation Trajectory Tracking Based on RISE and ISMC Algorithm.

In order to solve the problems of complex dynamic modeling and parameters identification of quadrotor formation cooperative trajectory tracking control, this paper proposes a data-driven model-free adaptive control method for quadrotor formation based on robust integral of the signum of the error (RISE) and improved sliding mode control (ISMC). The leader-follower strategy is adopted, and the leader realizes trajectory tracking control. A novel asymptotic tracking data-driven controller of quadrotor is used to control the system using the RISE method. It is divided into two parts: The inner loop is for attitude control and the outer loop for position control. Both use the RISE method in the loop to eliminate interference and this method only uses the input and output data of the unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) system and does not rely on any dynamics and kinematics model of the UAV. The followers realize formation cooperative control, introducing adaptive update law and saturation function to improve sliding mode control (SMC), and it eliminates the general SMC algorithm controller design dependence on the mathematical model of the UAV and has the chattering problem. Then, the stability of the system is proved by the Lyapunov method, and the effectiveness of the algorithm and the feasibility of the scheme are verified by numerical simulation. The experimental results show that the designed data-driven model-free adaptive control method for the quadrotor formation is effective and can effectively realize the coordinated formation trajectory tracking control of the quadrotor. At the same time, the design of the controller does not depend on the UAV kinematics and dynamics model, and it has high control accuracy, stability, and robustness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
