Cooperative Landing Control of Vertical Take Off and Landing Aircrafts on Oscillating Platform

Abstract

This paper considers a cooperative landing problem of a group of planar vertical take off and landing (PV-TOL) aircrafts to be heterogeneous with uncertain parameters. Specifically, we focus on the situation that the landing platform is oscillating and establish a cooperative landing maneuver so that each aircraft can track the platform motion in a safe height. We shall show a specific design based on cooperative output regulation theory under the modest undirected static communication topology.
