الوصف: This paper investigates the formation control issue of clustered vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned airborne vehicles (UAVs) subject to undesired perturbations composed by actuator faults, parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. In particular, a cluster of VTOL UAVs fly together in a given velocity with a well-specified formation configuration. For this purpose, an adaptive fault-tolerant distributed control algorithm via local information interaction is proposed under a hierarchical framework. Specifically, a distributed command force resorting to projection-based adaptation is first synthesized in the outer position loop. Such a command force is of a saturation attribute in order that a bounded desired thrust and a non-singular command attitude can be extracted in terms of appropriate control parameters. Next, in the inner attitude loop, a desired torque also with the help of projection-based adaptation is synthesized. Given that the underlying undirected topology is connected, it is shown based on Lyapunov theory that, the proposed adaptive fault-tolerant distributed control algorithm ensures the accomplishment of the concerned formation control objective of the clustered VTOL UAVs in spite of the undesired perturbations. Simulations validate and further highlight the effectiveness of the proposed distributed control algorithm.
