Abstract

The multicopter formation is widely used in many different complex circumstances. And the semi-autonomous multicopter formation controlled with a single pilot on the ground draws people’s attention due to the great adaptability to various kinds of environments. In this paper, we focus on the problem of passing through narrow channels with semi-autonomous multicopter formation. Similar to the definition for a single multicopter, the altitude hold mode for the multicopter formation is defined first. Then, the formation decision-making and formation low-level control of the altitude hold mode are proposed one by one. Finally, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation and a real experiment are performed with four multicopters to pass through a narrow channel.
