Abstract

This paper proposes an estimator-based formation-containment control method, which regards the quadrotor as an underactuated system. The position and attitude of both leaders and followers can converge with the proposed controllers, the formation control can realize within finite time, and all quadrotors can follow the desired trajectory. Firstly, we establish the translational and rotational models of the quadrotor; a distributed finite-time sliding mode estimator is designed such that each quadrotor can obtain the estimated information. Then, considering the underactuated quadrotor model, an adaptive sliding mode controller is proposed, which drives the quadrotor to both estimated position and attitude; the controller adopts a high-order derivative approximation algorithm to tackle the differential explosion problem in the quadrotor attitude algorithm. Finally, the system is proved asymptotically stable; the proposed control method has been verified through numerical simulations.
