On controlling aircraft formations

open access: yesProceedings of the 40th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.01CH37228), 2002
We describe a framework for controlling a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying in close formation. We first present a nonlinear dynamical model which includes the induced rolling moment by the lead aircraft on the wing of the following aircraft.

Fault-Tolerant Formation Control for Multiple Stochastic AUV System under Markovian Switching Topologies

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Formation control, which is a core problem in multi-autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems, plays an important role in realizing safe and accurate cooperation of multi-AUV systems.

Bearing-based formation control with second-order agent dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We consider the distributed formation control problem for a network of agents using visual measurements. We propose solutions that are based on bearing (and optionally distance) measurements, and agents with double integrator dynamics.

Mirror formation control in the vicinity of an asteroid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Two strategies are presented for the positioning and control of a spacecraft formation designed to focus sunlight onto a point on the surface of asteroid, thereby sublimating the material and ejecting debris creating thrust.

Taming mismatches in inter-agent distances for the formation-motion control of second-order agents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper presents the analysis on the influence of distance mismatches on the standard gradient-based rigid formation control for second-order agents.

Three-dimensional formation flying using bifurcating potential fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper describes the design of a three-dimensional formation flying guidance and control algorithm for a swarm of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), using the new approach of bifurcating artificial potential fields.

Bead-based assays to simultaneously detect multiple human inherited blood disorders associated with malaria

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2019
Background Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDd), haemoglobin C (HbC) and S (HbS) are inherited blood disorders (IBD) common in populations in malaria endemic areas.
