Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of clusters flocking for a heterogeneous multi-agent system of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). The dynamics models of the UAVs and USVs are established separately. Due to the different state dimensions and dynamics models of the UAVs and USVs, the two types of agents are formulated with two clusters. Then, the functions of formation errors of the two clusters are constructed. For the two clusters, a new type of prescribed-time formation control laws is designed respectively. Moreover, compared with the conventional formation control that can only ensure that the multi-agent system completes ideal formations without strict time constraints theoretically, the present prescribed-time control laws can enable the multi-agent system to complete ideal formation strictly at a prescribed time independent of initial formation errors. Finally, the effectiveness of the prescribed-time formation control is verified by simulations.
