Unmanned aerial vehicle cluster path planning processing method based on artificial potential field and unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

The invention, which belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle cluster control, discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle cluster path planning processing method based on an artificial potential field, and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method comprises the steps: carrying out conversion to obtain a position dot matrix of an unmanned aerial vehicle array according to a target shape andsequence of the unmanned aerial vehicle array, and generating a target waypoint array of a single unmanned aerial vehicle; on the basis of an artificial potential field method, calculating a repulsive force FRi of the single unmanned aerial vehicle by other unmanned aerial vehicles in the cluster and a resultant force FR of all the repulsive forces; calculating a target point gravitation FG of the single unmanned aerial vehicle; simulating flight, calculating a resultant force received by the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the gravitation FG and the repulsion FR, and adjusting an expected waypoint of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the next step according to the resultant force; and finally, forming a safe track for each unmanned aerial vehicle to finish the track planning work of the whole unmanned aerial vehicle cluster. The method is suitable for solving a path planning problem of a large-scale unmanned aerial vehicle cluster during formation flight, and the unmanned aerial vehicle cluster path planning processing method has the characteristics of easiness in implementation, high safety, high reliability and good unmanned aerial vehicle cluster control effect.
