The formation control problem for a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has attracted significant attention recently in multiple fields, such as robotics, aerospace, and wireless communication. UAV formation control has been proven to be advantageous for missions, such as persistent surveillance, drag reduction, exploration, and telecommunication relay. With the increasing demand of multi-UAV systems to cooperate and complete complex tasks, it is important to realize flight formation in a robust manner for these multiagent systems. In this presentation, Ph.D. Liu will present a distributed robust controller is developed, which consists of a position controller to govern the translational motion for the desired formation and an attitude controller to control the rotational motion of each quadrotor. Theoretical analysis and simulation studies of a formation of multiple uncertain quadrotors are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed formation control scheme.
