Abstract

A robust multi-constraint model predictive control (MPC) with strong robustness is proposed for the obstacle avoidance and reconfiguration problems of quadrotor UAVs during formation flight. Firstly, the fixed-time observer is designed to estimate the external disturbances, which ensures that the estimation error converges to zero in a fixed time. Secondly, the estimates of the disturbances are introduced into the prediction model to improve the robustness of the formation controller. Finally, another two cost functions are presented to avoid collisions between obstacles and UAVs. Several simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme.
