A Decentralized Low-Chattering Sliding Mode Formation Flight Controller for a Swarm of UAVs

In this paper, a nonlinear robust formation flight controller for a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is presented. It is based on the virtual leader approach and is capable of achieving and maintaining a formation with time-varying shape. By using a decentralized architecture, the local cont...
