A synchronised trajectory-tracking control strategy is proposed for multiple experimental three-degrees-of-freedom helicopters. The model-based controller includes a feedforward compensation term and a PD feedback control term. Asymptotic convergence is achieved for both trajectory tracking and motion synchronisation. A proposed generalised synchronisation error concept allows the design of different synchronisation strategies so that different synchronisation performance can be reached. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
