Abstract

To meet the real-time interactive formation changes and personalized performance requirements of drone swarms, this paper proposes a new offline trajectory generation algorithm based on Distributed Model Predictive Control (DMPC) . This method begins with mathematical modeling of point-to-point formation changes in drone formations and solves the optimization problem. This paper introduces a new on-demand collision avoidance strategy for DMPC and proposes a rapid DMPC algorithm for multi-drone point-to-point transitions. By combining this approach with intelligent target point allocation, the method reduces computational pressure while achieving more efficient flight trajectories. The study conducts simulations and compares the method with existing methods for performance evaluation. The results show that the proposed method significantly improves the success rate of trajectory generation, the rate of trajectory generation, and the efficiency of trajectory flight. The proposed algorithm quickly generates efficient flight trajectories for point-to-point formation changes in drone swarms, meeting the real-time interactivity and personalized needs of drone swarm flight performances.
