This letter proposes a novel approach combining the distributed model predictive control (DMPC) and the image-based visual servoing (IBVS) for cooperative tracking problem of multiple fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with pan-tilt cameras. In particular, the target is unknown and
This paper explores the optimal containment control problem for nonlinear and underactuated quadrotors with multiple team leaders governed by nonlinear dynamics, employing the reinforcement learning. A cascade controller is formulated, comprising a position control component to ensure containment ac…
In this letter, we study the localization problem of a mobile robot with range measurement from a single beacon. Previous filtering-based studies usually required accurate statistics of noises to be theoretically sound and reliable, which is difficult to obtain in practical systems. To solve this pr
Highly accurate and efficient map in unknown and complex environments is essential for robotics navigation. Traditionally, mobile robot platforms are often computationally constrained when using multiple sensors to process large amounts of input data. In previous works, some of them have been deploy…
Performing agile maneuvers autonomously remains a challenge for miniature fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) because they are required to fly along complex trajectories while approaching their physical limits. This article proposes an integrated maneuver planning and tracking method to addre
How to work effectively under occlusion-rich environments remains a challenge for airborne vision-based ground target tracking, due to the natural limitation of monocular vision. Given this, a novel cross-drone binocular coordination approach, inspired by the efficient coordination of human eyes, is
