Robust Sliding Mode Protocols for Formation of Quadcopter Swarm (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #521)
by Axaykumar Mehta Akash ModiThis book presents several robust sliding mode protocols for achieving the formation and tracking of Quadcopter swarm for a given pattern. In entire book, the concept of leader-follower formation control of a multi-agent system is exploited for deriving the protocols and the graph theory is used to represent the communication between the Quadcopters. The book covers two types of formation protocols of the Quadcopter swarm namely, continuous-time sliding mode protocols and discrete-time sliding mode protocols. First, the continuous-time higher order sliding mode protocols using super-twisting algorithm are designed for formation using linear and non-linear models of Quadcopter. Then, the discrete-time sliding mode protocols using power rate reaching law, discrete-time super twisting algorithm, and exponential reaching law are presented. The protocols are thoroughly analysed for robustness, chattering, control effort, and convergence time for achieving the formation. Also, the stability conditions using the Lyapunov function are derived to ensure the stability of the swarm with each protocol. Further, each chapter includes extensive simulation and comparative studies to show the efficacy of each protocol. The book will be useful to graduate students, research scholars, and professionals working in the domain of civilian and military usage of the drone technology.

by John A Satheesh Abimannan El-Sayed M. El-Alfy Yue-Shan ChangWith the growing advances in technology and transformation to digital services, the world is becoming more connected and more complex. Huge heterogeneous data are generated at rapid speed from various types of sensors. Augmented with artificial intelligence and machine learning and internet of things, latent relations, and new insights can be captured helping in optimizing plans and resource utilization, improving infrastructure, and enhancing quality of services. A “spatial data management system” is a way to take care of data that has something to do with space. This could include data such as maps, satellite images, and GPS data. A temporal data management system is a system designed to manage data that has a temporal component. This could include data such as weather data, financial data, and social media data. Some advanced techniques used in spatial and temporal data management systems include geospatial indexing for efficient querying and retrieval of location-based data, time-series analysis for understanding and predicting temporal patterns in datasets like weather or financial trends, machine learning algorithms for uncovering hidden patterns and correlations in large and complex datasets, and integration with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for real-time data collection and analysis. These techniques, augmented with artificial intelligence, enable the extraction of latent relations and insights, thereby optimizing plans, improving infrastructure, and enhancing the quality of services. This book provides essential technical knowledge, best practices, and case studies on the state-of-the-art techniques of artificial intelligence and machine learning for spatiotemporal data analysis and modeling.
