In the evolving landscape of autonomous systems, the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) has emerged as a promising solution for improving the localization accuracy and operational efficiency for diverse applications. This study introduces an Information Consensus Filter (ICF)-based decentralized control system for UAVs, incorporating the Control Barrier Function–Control Lyapunov Function (CBF–CLF) strategy aimed at enhancing operational safety and efficiency. At the core of our approach lies an ICF-based decentralized control algorithm that allows UAVs to autonomously adjust their flight controls in real time based on inter-UAV communication. This facilitates cohesive movement operation, significantly improving the system resilience and adaptability. Meanwhile, the UAV is equipped with a visual recognition system designed for tracking and locating the UGV. According to the experiments proposed in the paper, the precision of this visual recognition system correlates significantly with the operational distance. The proposed CBF–CLF strategy dynamically adjusts the control inputs to maintain safe distances between the UAV and UGV, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the visual system. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed system are demonstrated through extensive simulations and experiments, highlighting its potential for widespread application in UAV operational domains.

Purpose The research of unmanned air/ground vehicle (UAV/UGV) cooperation has attracted much attention due to its potential applications in disaster rescue and target surveillance. This paper aims to focus on the UAV/UGV cooperative target tracking and enclosing, considering the limits of detection and sensor failures. Design/methodology/approach The UAV/UGV cooperation structure is designed, contributing to homogeneous consistency and heterogeneous communication. The target tracking of UAVs is converted into a constraint optimization problem involving tracking cost, and the target enclosing of UGVs is modeled as formation control. Findings The energy estimation pigeon-inspired optimization is developed to generate control inputs for UAVs. And the controller combined with switchable topology is proposed, where the switching rule is flexible in dealing with some emergencies. Practical implications The proposed structure and algorithms can be easily applied to practice and help design the UAV/UGV control system. Originality/value The energy estimation mechanism is proposed for the target tracking of UAVs, and the rules of switching topologies ensure the target enclosing process of UGVs.
