Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of collaborative control of amphibious unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms, specifically to a collaborative control method and system for amphibious UAVs. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, global resource shortages and environmental pollution have become increasingly severe. To better conduct resource exploration and environmental protection work, countries around the world have launched research on unmanned mobile platforms, and have successively developed a variety of high-performance sea, land, and air unmanned mobile platforms. To further expand the operational space and business scope of existing single-medium mobile platforms, researchers both domestically and internationally have gradually shifted their focus to "multi-amphibious" mobile platforms, making progress in areas such as amphibious aircraft, submersible aircraft, and flying cars. Furthermore, with the rapid development of high-tech and disruptive technologies in my country, and the deepening of my country's "maritime power" strategy, research on cross-medium amphibious unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in my country will have significant strategic importance and broad application prospects.
[0003] Amphibious unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that combines the advantages of multi-rotor aircraft and unmanned vessels, enabling them to operate in both air and water environments. Initially widely used in the military for emergency penetration, their development has led to the emergence of more amphibious designs for civilian applications, resulting in the rapid development of amphibious UAVs in the civilian sector. Generally, amphibious UAVs refer to integrated unmanned systems capable of flying in air and navigating in water. In recent years, countries worldwide have begun to focus on the research of amphibious unmanned control systems. Internationally, developed countries such as the US and UK, along with renowned institutions like Harvard University, MIT, and Imperial College London, have begun exploring and researching integrated amphibious unmanned systems. Domestically, my country faces increasing challenges in maritime rights protection and water quality monitoring. These amphibious UAVs offer unparalleled advantages over other unmanned systems in island protection and surveillance, as well as water sampling. Furthermore, the integration of multiple unmanned system functions provides new ideas for water rescue equipment, significantly improving rescue efficiency and reducing losses.
[0004] When performing the aforementioned tasks, individual amphibious drones suffer from limitations such as restricted capabilities and low survivability, making it impossible to guarantee mission efficiency and completion. Therefore, the coordinated execution of missions by amphibious drone swarms has become a popular research area. As intelligent devices, the prerequisite for the deployment of amphibious drone swarms is the realization of autonomous functions, and control technology is an essential and crucial element in achieving this. During search and rescue, reconnaissance, and other missions, amphibious drone swarms exhibit variable-order switching characteristics. Increasing or decreasing the system order dramatically increases the complexity of the problem, thus necessitating the search for new control technologies to achieve autonomous and coordinated control of amphibious drone swarms.
