A Review of Consensus-based Multi-agent UAV Applications
Fausto Francesco Lizzio, Elisa Capello, Giorgio Guglieri
Abstract
In this paper, a review of distributed control for multi-agent systems is proposed, focusing on consensus-based applications. Both rotary-wing and fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are considered. On one side, methodologies and implementations based on collision and obstacle avoidance through consensus are analyzed for multirotor UAVs. On the other hand, a target tracking through consensus is considered for fixed-wing UAVs. This novel approach to classify the literature could help researchers to assess the outcomes achieved in these two directions in view of potential practical implementations of consensus-based methodologies.
