Embodiment Construction

[0076] The invention discloses an on-line configuration method for UAV formation obstacle avoidance priority based on collision cones, which includes four steps: Step 1, collect the real-time position and speed of each UAV in the formation and obstacles in the environment, and use This is based on predicting the fastest collision time between each UAV and an obstacle in the formation; Step 2, calculate the collision angle range of each UAV according to the collision cone theory; Step 3, construct a collision evaluation function, combined with the fastest Collision time and collision angle range, calculate the maximum overload that each UAV needs to perform in order to avoid obstacles; Step 4, compare the urgency of the collision assessment of each UAV, and according to the urgency from large to small In order, the priority of obstacle avoidance from high to low is assigned to the corresponding UAV in turn.

[0077] The present invention will be further described below in conju...

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) formation obstacle avoidance priority on-line configuration method based on a collision cone. The method comprises the steps of (1) collecting real-time positions and speeds of each UAV in a formation and an obstacle in an environment, and predicting a fastest collision time of each UAV in the formation and the obstacle on the above basis, (2) calculating a collision angle range of each UAV according to the collision cone theory, (3) constructing a collision evaluation function and calculating a maximum overload needed by performing a maneuver by each UAV in avoiding the obstacle with the combination of the fastest collision time and the collision angle range, and (4) comparing urgent degrees of collision evaluation of UAVs, and orderly distributing obstacle avoidance priorities from high to low to corresponding UAVs according to the sorting of urgent degrees from high to low. The method has the advantages of easy implementation, the adaption to different obstacle environments and online and real-time allocation calculation, and a guarantee is provided for the rapidity and accuracy of the obstacle avoidance of the UAV formation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of UAV formation obstacle avoidance, in particular to an online configuration method for UAV formation obstacle avoidance priority based on collision cones. Background technique [0002] UAVs are widely used in various military and civilian fields due to their small size, light weight, low cost, high mobility, good concealment, and strong adaptability. With the continuous improvement of technology and the expansion of UAV applications, many tasks with high complexity need to be completed by a formation of multiple UAVs. The flight safety of the formation is an important guarantee for the smooth execution of the mission. In the process of task execution, the working environment is often very complex, not only full of obstacles of various shapes, but also the distribution of obstacles is often uncertain, and there are even cases where the space through which to pass is very limited. This requires that the UAV formatio...
