Robust cooperative control for stratosphere airships under dynamic nonlinear
摘要
This technical note addresses robust cooperative control for stratospheric airships under nonlinear dynamic conditions. The heterogeneous control framework comprises one leader and multiple follower airships. A distributed consensus scheme enables the followers to achieve cooperative control, which is the foundation of the proposed strategy. Notably, the consensus algorithm relies only on local state information exchanged between airships, without requiring knowledge of internal plant dynamics. By integrating the airship dynamic model with distributed consensus protocols, effective cooperative control is achieved. Stability of all closed-loop systems is rigorously established under the proposed strategy. Numerical simulations validate the theoretical findings.
