Author Description

<p>This book introduces the centralized robust H∞ team formation tracking control strategy of multi-UAV network system under intrinsic random fluctuation, time-varying delay and packet dropout in wireless communication, and external disturbance. A simple robust decentralized H∞ PID reference tracking network control strategy is introduced for practical applications of team formation of large-scale UAV under control saturation constraint, external disturbance and vortex coupling. It provides practical design procedures based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) solvable via LMI TOOLBOX in MATLAB®.</p> <p>Features:</p> <ul> <li>Focusses on the stabilization of a QUAV under finite time switching model control (SMC)</li> <li>Discusses robustness control design for formation tracking in UAV networks</li> <li>Introduces different robust centralized and decentralized H∞ attack-tolerant observer-based reference team formation tracking control of large-scale UAVs</li> <li>Reviews practical case studies in each chapter to introduce the design procedures</li> <li>Includes design examples of team formation of 25 quadrotor UAVs and a team formation example of 5 hybrid quadrotor/biped robot sub-teams</li> </ul> <p>This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in control and electrical engineering.</p>
