“…To this end, we propose a biologically-inspired distributed intelligent controller, which takes advantage of the computational model of emotional learning in the mammalian limbic system. Our recent work in [29] introduced the theoretical framework for the flocking control for networked multi-UAS using BELBIC. These results are improved upon and extended in this paper for accomplishing an intelligent and practical flocking of networked multi-UAS, when subjected to impacts from uncertain network imperfections.…”

In this paper, a biologically-inspired distributed intelligent control methodology is proposed to overcome the challenges, i.e., networked imperfections and uncertainty from the environment and system, in networked multi-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) flocking. The proposed method is adopted based on the emotional learning phenomenon in the mammalian limbic system, considering the limited computational ability in the practical onboard controller. The learning capability and low computational complexity of the proposed technique make it a propitious tool for implementing in real-time networked multi-UAS flocking considering the network imperfection and uncertainty from environment and system. Computer-aid numerical results of the implementation of the proposed methodology demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm for distributed intelligent flocking control of networked multi-UAS.
