Abstract:	In this paper, a nonlinear robust formation flight controller for a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is presented. It is based on the virtual leader approach and is capable of achieving and maintaining a formation with time-varying shape. By using a decentralized architecture, the local controller in each UAV uses information only from the UAV itself, its neighbors, and from the virtual leader. Also, a synchronization control objective provides a mechanism to weight between the fleet achieving the desired formation shape, that is, achieving the desired relative position between the UAVs, and each UAV achieving its desired absolute position. The use of a combination of a sliding mode controller and a low pass filter reduces the usual chattering effect, providing a smooth control signal while maintaining robustness. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized controller.
