New Flocking Models Apply for UAV Formation

Abstract

In this paper some new flocking models are introduced. The contact mechanism between agents is from the famous Cooker-Smile model. In these models, the information exchange in the system is fully connected and the agents can adjust their velocities to form a flock. The important innovation of this paper is the flocking agents will automatic slow their velocities to avoid collision when they detects their relatively velocities so quickly and they are too closed with other agents. Using these models, the information interaction between the agents is completely automated which means they do not need human help to finish the flock. We only need to give the initial velocity for each agents they will complete the flocking and not run into each other. Also, we give the final velocity of the system and from the expression it show this velocity is only depended on their agent’s initial velocity.
