description This paper deals with the problem of multiquadrotor collaborative control by developing and analyzing a new type of fixed-time formation control algorithm. The control strategy proposes a hierarchical control framework, which consists of two layers: a coordinating control layer and a tracking control layer. On the coordinating control layer, according to the fixed-time consistency theory, the virtual position and virtual velocity of each quadrotor are calculated and acquired to form a virtual formation, and the virtual velocity reaches consistency. On the tracking control layer, the real position and the real velocity track the virtual position and the virtual velocity, respectively. Thus, multiquadrotor can achieve the required formation shape and velocity consensus. Finally, the comparative simulations are carried out to illustrate the feasibility and superiority of the proposed fixed-time hierarchical formation control method for multiquadrotor collaborative control.
