Adaptive configuration control - formation flight

3 quadrotor UAVs are commanded to fly in a circular formation while keeping a constant heading angle. A sudden loss of thrust in one of the propellers of one of the vehicles occurs.

In the nominal inner loop/nominal outer loop case, the failure causes the quadrotor in the foreground to go directly underneath the trailing quadrotor. On the way back into formation, the failed quadrotor collides with another vehicle.

In adaptive case, the failure is quickly accounted for, and the other vehicles slow down and even reverse course to allow space for the failed vehicle to recover.

Skynet almost operational

@looqmann1 It's okay, don't feel too bad. Everyone always sometimes.

@DannleChannel Right...they in fact are. However you should check out the other quadrotors on youtube. Their maneuverability is unmatched.

@MASTERMIKEEE These are quadrotors...just a different team of people working on them with a slightly different design.

This is nothing compared to those Quadrotors...

Why does everyone relate this to Skynet!?!?

Long live James Cameron xD
