Leader-follower robust formation control for Quad-Rotors via continuous sliding-modes

TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a robust output regulation for a set of quad-rotors forming a geometric pattern, which is composed of cascaded continuous sliding-modes controllers providing uniform finite-time stability and uniform exponential stability for the corresponding quad-Rotors positions.
Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of robust output regulation for a set of Quad-Rotors forming a geometric pattern. The proposed control strategy is based on sliding- modes techniques, and it is able to robustly regulate the corresponding Quad-Rotors positions and angles in the presence of some class of disturbances acting on the Quad-Rotors. The proposed regulation is composed by cascaded continuous sliding-modes controllers providing uniform finite-time stability and uniform exponential stability for the corresponding Quad-Rotors positions. Simulation results illustrate the feasibility of the proposed strategy.
