Design of Multi-UAVs Control Platform for Control Algorithm Experiments

Abstract

We build a multi-UAVs control platform that can be used for verification of multi-UAVs control algorithm and also for the construction of multi-UAVs cooperation system. The ground station program, using the improved named pipeline to connect the multi-process, supports the control and test functions of multi-UAVs stably. Through the reasonable design of the communication link between multiple processes and the proper simplification of the communication protocol flow, we make up for the disadvantages such as high process creation cost and low communication efficiency. At the same time, an experimental platform for embeddable multi-UAVs control algorithm is built. The stability and usability of the platform have been verified by simulation and real machine experiments and the observation of multi-UAVs and a single UAV has basically reached the verification requirements of the control algorithm.
