摘要
Both safety and stability are primary performance criteria for multi-unmanned aerial vehicle(multi-UAV)systems in many coordination tasks.Existing approaches often consider safety and stability separately.It is necessary and urgent to develop a safety-stability control strategy to merge these two performance criteria.In this paper,a unified approach is developed to consider safety and stability for multi-UAV formation control.The stability criterion is represented by a Lyapunov function and safety criterion is represented by a barrier function and then a relaxed converse control Lyapunov-barrier theorem is obtained.With the help of a relaxed converse control Lyapunov-barrier function(RCCLBF),a distributed safety-stability formation control strategy is proposed for the multi-UAV system.By transforming the solution of RCCLBF to a Lyapunovlike stabilization problem,we show that the proposed formation control strategy can drive the UAVs staying within a specified safe set.Simulation results are provided to validate the proposed safety-stability formation control strategy.
