Abstract:
Different from the finite/fixed-time control methodologies on longitudinal/attitude synchronization or 2-D motion of UAVs, this article attempts to propose a distributed adaptive specified-time control scheme for synchronization tracking of networked 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) UAVs. To be specific, the novel specified-time performance functions (STPFs) are designed in such a way that the desired performance bounds can be imposed on velocity and attitude tracking errors. Based on the transformed errors, by utilizing the barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs), a distributed specified-time control scheme is constructed with adaptive robustifying terms to enhance the fault-tolerant ability and compensate the modeling uncertainties. By means of Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the resulting control scheme can guarantee the boundedness of all closed-loop state variables, and preserve the guaranteed performance bounds for synchronization tracking errors of velocity and attitude at the same time. Theoretical results are confirmed by experiment and simulation validations.
