Publicación Distributed multi-UAV shield formation based on virtual surface constraints(Elsevier, 2024-03-30) Zaragoza, Salvador ; Guinaldo Losada, María; Sánchez Moreno, José; Mañas Álvarez, Francisco JoséThis paper proposes a method for the deployment of a multi-agent system of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as a shield with potential applications in the protection of infrastructures. The shield shape is modeled as a quadric surface in the 3D space. To design the desired formation (target distances between agents and interconnections), an algorithm is proposed where the input parameters are just the parametrization of the quadric and the number of agents of the system. This algorithm guarantees that the agents are almost uniformly distributed over the virtual surface and that the topology is a Delaunay triangulation. Moreover, a new method is proposed to check if the resulting triangulation meets that condition and is executed locally. Because this topology ensures that the formation is rigid, a distributed control law based on the gradient of a potential function is proposed to acquire the desired shield shape and proofs of stability are provided. Finally, simulation and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.Publicación Distributed reconfiguration of distance-based formations with virtual surface constraints(IEEE, 2024) Guinaldo Losada, María; Sánchez Moreno, José; S. Zaragoza; Mañas Álvarez, Francisco JoséThis paper proposes a method to recover from the failure or loss of a subset of agents in a distance-based formation problem, where the system is initially deployed forming a virtual shield embedded in the 3D space. First, a distributed algorithm is proposed to restore the topology, which is a Delaunay triangulation. After that, the nodes execute a distance-based distributed control law that considers adaptive target distances. These values are computed in parallel by the nodes, which try to reach an agreement with some constraints, given by the desired shield shape. The updating policy is based on events. The results are illustrated through simulation examples.Publicación Development, control and evaluation of a heterogeneous multi-agent robotic platform(Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España).
