Fault-Tolerant Cooperative Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles


Free Download Fault-Tolerant Cooperative Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
English | 2024 | ISBN: 981997660X | 382 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 33 MB
This book focuses on the fault-tolerant cooperative control (FTCC) of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (multi-UAVs). It provides systematic and comprehensive descriptions of FTCC issues in multi-UAVs concerning faults, external disturbances, strongly unknown nonlinearities, and input saturation. Further, it addresses FTCC design from longitudinal motions to attitude motions, and outer-loop position motions of multi-UAVs. The book’s detailed control schemes can be used to enhance the flight safety of multi-UAVs.
