  • Patent number: 11977396
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-body formation reconstruction method for an unmanned device cluster control. The present invention comprises: step 1: reading a preset target formation; step 2: establishing a probability density function associated with the target formation; step 3: obtaining the current formation of all the controlled objects in the unmanned device cluster, and establishing a probability density function associated with the current formation; step 4: decreasing a cross entropy by adjusting the position of the controlled objects in the unmanned device cluster, and repeating executing the step 3 and the step 4 until the formation composed by the controlled objects in the unmanned device cluster is consistent with the target formation.
