Inspired by the collective behaviors observed in bird flocks and fish schools,this paper proposes a novel Decentralized Model Predictive Flocking Control(DMPFC)framework to enable UAV swarms to autonomously track predefined reference trajectories while avoiding collisions and maintaining a stable quasi[Math Processing Error]-lattice formation.Unlike traditional approaches that rely on switching between predefined swarm formations,this framework utilizes identical local interaction rules for each UAV,allowing them to dynamically adjust their control inputs based on the motion states of neighboring UAVs,external environmental factors,and the desired reference trajectory,thereby enabling the swarm to adapt its formation dynamically.Through iterative state updates,the UAVs achieve consensus,allowing the swarm to follow the reference trajectory while self-organizing into a cohesive and stable group structure.To enhance computational efficiency,the framework integrates a closed-form solution for the optimization process,enabling real-time implementation even on computationally constrained micro-quadrotors.Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed method ensures swarm consensus,maintains desired inter-agent distances,and stabilizes the swarm formation.Extensive simulations and real-world experiments validate the approach’s effectiveness and practicality,demonstrating that the proposed method achieves velocity consensus within approximately 200 ms and forms a stable quasi[Math Processing Error]-lattice structure nearly ten times faster than traditional models,with trajectory tracking errors on the order of millimeters.This underscores its potential for robust and efficient UAV swarm coordination in complex scenarios. 展开更多

Active rods propelled along their long axis align their velocities and orientations simultaneously in collision.However,as the propulsion is perpendicular to the long axis,velocity alignment becomes dynamically difficult.Here,we show that ellipsoidal Quincke roller propelled along their short-axis(perpendicular to the long axis)can align their velocities by flipping and form flocking with nematic order.The flipping arises from the reversible transition between the static parallel spinless state and the spinning transversal state of ellipsoidal Quincke rollers.This is possible only near(above)the critical field where both the parallel spinless state and the spinning transversal spinning are metastable.The flipping-facilitated alignment offers an extra aligning mechanism for elongate active agents,and the resulting active liquid crystals serve a model system to explore the defect dynamics as the propulsion deviates from the local nematic orientation which has not been addressed yet. 展开更多

Background:Food abundance and availability affect flock patterns of foraging birds.Cost and risk tradeoffs are especially critical for flocks of wintering waterbirds foraging in lake wetlands.Waterbirds losing suitable habitats face insufficient food supplies and high levels of disturbance,affecting their foraging activities.Our objective was to study the effects of food abundance and disturbances on flock size and the structure of Hooded Crane flocks wintering at Shengjin Lake and,as well,to understand the response of wintering waterbirds to habitat degradation for future management decisions and protection of the population.Methods:We investigated food abundance,disturbances and flock foraging activities of the wintering Hooded Crane in several foraging habitats of Shengjin Lake from November 2013 to April 2014.Flock size and structure were observed by scan sampling.Data on food abundance and disturbances were collected by sampling.Flock size and structure were compared among three wintering stages.The relationship between food resources,disturbances and flock size were illustrated using a generalized linear model.Results:In the early and middle wintering periods,the Hooded Crane used paddy fields as its major foraging habitat,where the number of foraging birds and flocks were the highest.During the late period,the cranes took to meadows as their major foraging habitat.The variation among foraging flock was mainly embodied in the size of the flocks,while the age composition of these flocks did not change perceptibly.Family flocks were notably different from flock groups in size and age composition.The results of a generalized linear model showed that the food abundance had a marked effect on foraging flock size and age composition,while disturbances had a significant effect only on flock size.From our analysis,it appeared that the combined effect of the two variables was significant on the size of the foraging flock,but had less impact on age composition.Conclusions:Food abundance and disturbances affected the flock size of the Hooded Crane.With abundant food and high disturbances,flock sizes increased owing to cooperation in foraging.To avoid competition and maximize foraging benefits,flock size reduces with an abundance of food but low disturbance.By trading off risks and costs,the cranes showed flexible flock distributions and a variety of foraging strategies to maximize benefits and to improve their fitness. 展开更多

Aiming at the group of autonomous agents consisting of multiple leader agents and multiple follower ones,a flocking behavior method with multiple leaders and a global trajectory was proposed.In this flocking method,the group leaders can attain the information of the global trajectory,while each follower can communicate with its neighbors and corresponding leader but does not have global knowledge.Being to a distributed control method,the proposed method firstly sets a movable imaginary point on the global trajectory to ensure that the center and average velocity of the leader agents satisfy the constraints of the global trajectory.Secondly,a two-stage strategy was proposed to make the whole group satisfy the constraints of the global trajectory.Moreover,the distance between the center of the group and the desired trajectory was analyzed in detail according to the number ratio of the followers to the leaders.In this way,on one hand,the agents of the group emerge a basic flocking behavior; on the other hand,the center of the group satisfies the constraints of global trajectory.Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. 展开更多

Existing coupled distributed estimation and motion control strategies of mobile sensor networks present limitations in velocity-varying target tracking. Therefore, a velocity-varying target tracking algorithm based on flocking control is proposed herein. The Kalman-consensus filter is utilized to estimate the position, velocity and acceleration of a target. The flocking control algorithm with a velocity-varying virtual leader enables the position of the center of the mobile sensor network to converge to that of the target. By applying an effective cascading Lyapunov method, stability analysis is performed. Simulation results are provided to validate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm. 展开更多

This paper considers a multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) formation problem and proposes a new method inspired by bird flocking and foraging behavior. A bidirectional communication network, a navigator based on bird foraging behavior, a controller based on bird interaction and a movement switch are developed for multi-UAV formation. Lyapunov's second method and mechanical energy method are adopted for stability analysis. Parameters of the controller are optimized by Levy-flight based pigeon inspired optimization (Levy-PIO). Patrol missions along a square and an S shaped trajectory are designed to test this formation method. Simula- tions prove that the bird flocking and foraging strategy can accomplish the mission and obtain satisfying performance. 展开更多

Most existing flocking algorithms assume one single virtual leader and rely on information on both relative positions and relative velocities among neighboring agents.In this paper,the problem of controlling a flock of mobile autonomous agents to follow multiple virtual leaders is investigated by using only position information in the sense that agents with the same virtual leader asymptotically attain the same velocity and track the corresponding virtual leader based on only position measurements.A flocking algorithm is proposed under which every agent asymptotically attains its desired velocity,collision between agents can be avoided,and the final tight formation minimizes all agents' global potentials.A simulation example is presented to verify and illustrate the theoretical results. 展开更多

We study phase behaviors of mixtures comprising active particles with and without active reorientation by varying mixing ratios.We observe that the order parameter characterizing flocking in the steady state exhibits a linear decrease with an increase in mixing ratio.While the order parameter characterizing clustering in the steady state presents a sharp leap as the mixing ratio increases.Particularly,we obtain phase diagrams of flocking under different mixing ratios and observe that the domain corresponding to flocking experiences a contraction with the increase of mixing ratio.Simultaneously,the coordinates of the critical point on the phase boundary between the flocking and the disordered phase decay exponentially with the mixing ratio. 展开更多

This paper is mainly devoted to the flocking of a class of swarm with fixed topology in a changing environment. Firstly, the controller for each agent is proposed by employing the error terms between the state of the agent and the average state of its neighbors. Secondly, a sufficient condition for the swarm to achieve flocking is presented under assumptions that the gradient of the environment is bounded and the initial position graph is connected. Thirdly, as the environment is a plane, it is further proved that the velocity of each agent finally converges to the velocity of the swarm center although not one agent knows where the center of the group is. Finally, numerical examples are included to illustrate the obtained results. 展开更多

This paper presents a novel flocking algorithm based on a memory-enhanced disturbance observer.To compensate for external disturbances,a filtered regressor for the double integrator model subject to external disturbances is designed to extract the disturbance information.With the filtered regressor method,the algorithm has the advantage of eliminating the need for acceleration information,thus reducing the sensor requirements in applications.Using the information obtained from the filtered regressor,a batch of stored data is used to design an adaptive disturbance observer,ensuring that the estimated values of the parameters of the disturbance system equation and the initial value converge to their actual values.The result is that the flocking algorithm can compensate for external disturbances and drive agents to achieve the desired collective behavior,including virtual leader tracking,inter-distance keeping,and collision avoidance.Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed in the present study. 展开更多

We consider the generalized flocking problem in multiagent systems, where the agents must drive a subset of their state variables to common values, while communication is constrained by a proximity relationship in terms of another subset of variables. We build a flocking method for general nonlinear agent dynamics, by using at each agent a near-optimal control technique from artificial intelligence called optimistic planning. By defining the rewards to be optimized in a well-chosen way, the preservation of the interconnection topology is guaranteed, under a controllability assumption. We also give a practical variant of the algorithm that does not require to know the details of this assumption, and show that it works well in experiments on nonlinear agents. 展开更多

Current applications using single unmanned vehicle have been gradually extended to multiple ones due to their increased efficiency in mission accomplishment, expanded coverage areas and ranges, as well as enhanced system reliability. This paper presents a flocking control method with application to a fleet of unmanned quadrotor helicopters (UQHs). Three critical characteristics of formation keeping, collision avoidance, and velocity matching have been taken into account in the algorithm development to make it capable of accomplishing the desired objectives (like forest/pipeline surveillance) by safely and efficiently operating a group of UQHs. To achieve these, three layered system design philosophy is considered in this study. The first layer is the flocking controller which is designed based on the kinematics of UQH. The modified Cucker and Smale model is used for guaranteeing the convergence of UQHs to flocking, while a repelling force between each two UQHs is also added for ensuring a specified safety distance. The second layer is the motion controller which is devised based on the kinetics of UQH by employing the augmented state-feedback control approach to greatly minimize the steady-state error. The last layer is the UQH system along with its actuators. Two primary contributions have been made in this work: first, different from most of the existing works conducted on agents with double integrator dynamics, a new flocking control algorithm has been designed and implemented on a group of UQHs with nonlinear dynamics. Furthermore, the constraint of fixed neighbouring distance in formation has been relaxed expecting to significantly reduce the complexity caused by the increase of agents number and provide more flexibility to the formation control. Extensive numerical simulations on a group of UQH nonlinear models have been carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. 展开更多

There are many interesting flocking phenomena in nature,such as joint predation and group migration,and the intrinsic communication patterns of flocking are essential for studying group behavior.Traditional models of communication such as the pigeon flock model and the wolf pack model define all agents within a perceptual distance as the neighborhoods,and some models have fixed communicating numbers.There is a significant impact on the quality of the flocking formation when encountering poor initial state of the flocking,multiple obstacles,or loss of certain agents.To solve this problem,this paper proposes a local communication model with nearest agents in four directions.Based on this model and behavioral method,two distributed flocking formation algorithms are designed in this paper for different scenarios,namely the flocking algorithm and the circular formation algorithm.Numerical simulation results show that the flocking can pass through the obstacle area and re-formation smoothly,and also the formation quality of the flocking is better compared with the traditional communication model. 展开更多

Compliance with appropriate flock health program is vital for preventing introduction and minimizing impact of diseases in goat farms. Unfortunately, most goat farms in Uganda, especially in the Albertine Graben Zone lack flock health program. The associated frequent outbreaks slow down effort aimed at commercializing goat production. In this study, we documented flock dynamics, identified and prioritized pressing challenges experienced by goat farms during the year 2022 and generated appropriate flock health program and packaged it for dissemination to farmers. Materials and Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, semi-structured questionnaire, data were collected and analyzed with MS Excel 2013. The data included: location and socio-demographics of household, farming system, flock dynamics, housing, feeding system, health management, challenges encountered by goat farm and suggested solutions. Results: Beginning January 2022 to December 2022, the number of goats reared in all the 45 sample farms increased from 2128 to 2220 goats. Results showed that 884 kids were produced and 88 breeding goats were introduced into the farms. Three hundred ninety-nine goats died due to mainly diseases and 435 goats got withdrawn through nondeath. The average farm level and overall mortality rate were 21 goats per 1000 goatmonths and 15 goats per 1000 goatmonths respectively. The most pressing challenges encountered by sample farms were death of goats especially due to diseases, poor access to veterinary extension services, high cost of inputs and feed scarcity. Solutions suggested by sample farms were improved access to veterinary services, improved housing, enhanced vaccination of goats against diseases, and enhanced grazing land management and feed conservation, all of which were incorporated into the flock health program. Conclusion and Recommendations: An appropriate flock health program was generated based on flock dynamics and production constraints which reveal high mortality and limited access to veterinary services respectively. Actors are recommended to promote adoption and adherence to the flock health program so as to increase goat production and access to wider market. 展开更多
