As an important part of cooperative control for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), cooperative path planning can get optimal flight path which can satisfy different constraints. Research on cooperative path planning for multiple UAVs is summarized in this paper. Firstly, problem description and constraints are given. Then, solution frameworks and path coordination approaches are summarized. After that, several control methods commonly used in formation of multiple UAVs are introduced respectively. Lastly, possible research directions in the future time are put forward.

This paper presents a distributed control framework for groups of wheeled mobile robots with significant (non-negligible) vehicle dynamics driving on terrain with variable performance characteristics. A dynamic model of a high-speed robot is developed with attention to representation of wheel-terrain performance characteristics. Using this model, aspects of distributed, cooperative control on unknown terrain are investigated. A potential function path planning and cooperative control algorithm is combined with a local slip controller on each robot to provide high-speed control of vehicle formation. Local slip control is shown to reduce sensitivity of the distributed path planning and control method to tire-terrain performance variation and its resulting effect on dynamic behavior of the robots. Computationally efficient methods for real-time assessment of force-slip characteristics are presented to provide slip setpoints for this control architecture.
