Sampled-data event-triggered control with application to quadcopter formations. (English) Zbl 1518.93085
In the paper, the leader-follower formation problem for a group consisting of one autonomous leader and multiple general linear homogeneous followers is investigated with a novel event-triggered information approach using Lyapunov-based linear matrix inequality techniques. The structure of the work is as follows. First, a distributed formation controller along with a communication event generator are presented. Then, sufficient conditions for the controller gain and triggering condition gain design are provided. In the conclusion, the authors illustrate the proposed method using numerical simulations.
