Sumario:This paper addresses the formation motion control of heterogeneous multi-agent unmanned systems via a distributed consensus approach. The considered heterogeneous system consisted of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). A leader-following consensus scheme and APF method are used to construct UAV-USVs Formation task requirements. A fuzzy-based sliding mode control approach is proposed to ensure the formation assembles in a finite time, and the finite-time stability is proved by the Lyapunov stability theorem. To highlight the cooperation within the heterogeneous systems, such as UAV and USV, a novel vision-based path re-planning approach is proposed. Simulation results confirm the efficiency of the proposed approach.
