Optimal Control Design for A Formation Tracking with Leader-Follower Concept of Multi-Agent Autonomous Helicopter Model

E. Joelianto

Abstract


This paper presents a formation tracking control for multi agent autonomous helicopter model. The formation tracking is defined for a triangular shape and implemented by using a leader-follower concept. The controller for each agent is designed by using the standard linear quadratic method. The weighting matrices in the performance quadratic index determine the performance of  the formation tracking.
