  1. Multiple UAV Rendezvous with Collision Avoidance Joel George and DebasishGhose Guidance, Control, and Decision Systems Laboratory (GCDSL) Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore India 560012.

  2. Introduction • Rendezvous: meeting at a pre-planned time and place • Rendezvous of multiple UAVs • For simultaneous deployment of resources • To exchange resources or critical information • Rendezvous of multiple UAVs when some of the UAVs have to do collision avoidance maneuvers en route

  3. Assumptions • Kinematic UAV model is the position, is the velocity, is the heading, and is the turn rate command of UAV • Global communication between UAVs

  4. Solution Approach • Rendezvous via consensus on Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) at target • ETA at target obtained from Dubins path to target • Arrive at a consensus on ETA by adjusting velocities

  5. Solution Approach • Average consensus • In principle, any consensus protocol can be used. Average consensus protocol is used for the purpose of illustration

  6. Handling velocity bounds • If a UAV hits the maximum velocity bound, it stays with that velocity • If a UAV hits the minimum velocity bound, it stays with that velocity and in addition does a wandering maneuver (move away from target)

  7. Wandering maneuver example Example of a case where one UAV (red) hits upper velocity bound while other (green) hits lower velocity bound but still achieves a rendezvous

  8. Rendezvous without collision avoidance • Example of rendezvous of 10 UAVs

  9. Rendezvous with collision avoidance • Rendezvous of 5 UAVs with collision avoidance

  10. Target tracking • Target tracking with a stand-off radius • Target tracking can be achieved by a little modification in the rendezvous via consensus algorithm • Stand-off radius achieved by keeping the ETA to target constant

  11. Target tracking • Tracking a stationary target

  12. Target tracking • Tracking moving target

  13. Remarks • The algorithm developed for rendezvous via consensus can be modified by adding a ‘bias’ to address the cooperative timing problem

  14. Summary • Algorithm for multiple UAV rendezvous under collision avoidance achieved via consensus on ETA to target
