Event-Triggered Adaptive Fault-Tolerant Synchronization Tracking Control for Multiple 6-DOF Fixed-Wing UAVs

In contrast with most existing results concerning unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) wherein two-degree or only attitude/longitudinal dynamics are considered, this article proposes an event-triggered cooperative synchronization fault-tolerant control (FTC) methodology for multiple fixed-wing UAVs whose dynamics are six-degree-of-freedom (DOF)...

Cyclic communication in adaptive strategies to platooning: the case of synchronized merging

Recently proposed adaptive platooning strategies for connected automated vehicles are able to cope with uncertain vehicle parameters (uncertain driveline time constants), but can handle only acyclic graphs like look-ahead graphs. This prevents from enhancing platooning protocols with synchronized merging maneuvers, where cyclic communication...
