Differential flatness-based tracking control for fleet of flying robots

Fleet of flying robots are expected to be applied to various practical tasks such as surveillance, inspection of infrastructures, and rescue. In this study, we aim at realizing precise formation flight of multiple flying robots. To realize precise formation flight, high tracking performance for given path is required. Therefore, tracking controller should be designed. In this paper, tracking control system based on Differential Flatness is designed for small unmanned helicopter. The numerical simulation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of designed tracking controller.
