Advantageous effects
(1) The invention can endow the space-ground cooperative system with flexibility and universality by using a modular characteristic. Each module plays its own role, and can be replaced more conveniently as required when being popularized and applied.
(2) The self-defined communication protocol used in the communication process of the serial communication module and the cloud controller module can ensure that the communication stage has higher safety and confidentiality, because the self-defined communication protocol not only belongs to mask communication, but also can ensure that personnel who do not know the protocol cannot accurately know the meaning of the communication content, and even can add an encryption algorithm into the self-defined communication protocol to ensure that the safety of the communication is higher. This benefits from the alternative benefit of benefit 1.
(3) The cloud-end controller can concentrate primary information such as pose information of the intelligent agent and the target object in the cloud-end controller instead of flooding in the whole information network. The primary information is converted into high-efficiency information such as the control quantity of each intelligent agent after the resolving processing of the cloud-end controller, and then the high-efficiency information is broadcasted in the wifi local area network. The processing mode can reduce the burden of a communication network and prevent the intelligent agent from blocking the self acceptance window due to too much invalid information, so that the robustness of the system is lowered due to the fact that real control quantity information is delayed or missed.
(4) The multi-agent subsystem and the cloud-end controller are decoupled, and only a certain amount of information is exchanged through a WiFi local area network. This feature makes possible a versatile expansion of the multi-agent subsystem. This subsystem not only can include unmanned aerial vehicle and unmanned vehicle described in the claim, can add the intelligent object such as robot, arm even, only need add its corresponding characteristic in control mode can.
(5) The enclosure function of the invention can lead the subsystems of the multiple intelligent agents to be organically unified under the framework of a consistency algorithm, and the situation that the formation seems to be still in actual individual battles can not occur. And the obstacle avoidance function is not integrated in the cloud-end controller, but realized by an airborne sensor and a single chip microcomputer of the airborne sensor. The characteristics make the whole system more close to actual combat, and ensure the real-time performance of the system.
(6) The double-loop PID and the fuzzy PID can be flexibly replaced by algorithms such as active disturbance rejection, model predictive control and the like. This also represents another advantage of the system, namely, the characteristic of fast verification of algorithm innovation is achieved by taking a complete scheme as a framework to carry out partial replacement on the algorithm of which a student focuses on a part.
(7) The VICON motion capture system has the advantages of high precision, good real-time performance and the like, can even reach millimeter-level pose judgment precision, and can bring accurate feedback for algorithm verification. If a wide experiment scene is sought, the positioning environment can be completely replaced by satellite positioning such as Beidou.
(8) The serial port communication module can realize data communication with a period of 0.02 second, namely, the control rate of 50 times per second, and compared with other space-ground cooperative systems, the real-time performance of the serial port communication module is greatly improved. This means that when an emergency occurs in the experimental environment, the system can also perform corresponding response processing in a very short time, and the provided robustness is improved.
(9) The definition of data length bit in the definition of data packet format in the communication protocol of the invention also provides an interface for the expansion and change of communication content, and the meaning contained in the function word can be correspondingly adjusted according to the difference of data length. The universality of the system is enhanced.
(10) The single chip microcomputer in the multi-agent only needs to disassemble the data packet and control the self structure to operate according to the control information in the data packet, thereby greatly saving the calculation power of the airborne single chip microcomputer and leading the single chip microcomputer to be more concentrated on the functions related to self safety.

In addition, it should be particularly noted that the invention integrates a scheduling strategy facing to the control task requirement, and can ensure the control real-time requirement within 12ms of the unmanned aerial vehicle and 20ms of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
Examples
The first example is as follows: and after the whole system is built, verifying the role dynamic allocation algorithm of the unmanned vehicle in the multi-agent subsystem. As shown in fig. 5, the role dynamic assignment algorithm used by the multi-agent subsystem achieves a good effect: as can be seen from the figure, firstly, the differences of different robots, namely No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, can be seen through the identification balls on the acrylic plate on the omnidirectional mobile robot. In the initial formation state, the robot No. 1 is positioned in the front, and the robots No. 2 and No. 3 are respectively positioned in the rear. When the No. 1 robot is placed behind the No. 3 robot, a formation with the No. 3 robot in front and the No. 1 and No. 2 robots in back is formed.
Example two: the invention carries out formation experiment verification of cooperative control of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the unmanned vehicles on the basis of unmanned aerial vehicle position and attitude control and cooperative control of multiple unmanned vehicles. The control model of the unmanned aerial vehicle predicts a control algorithm, the unmanned aerial vehicle adds pilot information on the basis of the algorithm of first-order consistency, one unmanned aerial vehicle serves as a pilot, and the other unmanned aerial vehicle serves as a follower. Five ground mobile robots are used as followers. The follower takes the pilot as the center, encloses a fixed formation, and maintains the formation during the movement of the follower. Meanwhile, a multi-target dynamic role allocation task is realized based on the Hungarian algorithm, so that the followers can select the self formation positions at the minimum cost, and the stability of the formation form is maintained. And the obstacle avoidance is carried out by adopting an artificial potential energy field based method, so that obstacles on the driving route of a pilot are avoided, and the driving safety is guaranteed. In addition, the unmanned vehicle divides the control into two parts, a bottom layer control and an upper layer control. The bottom control board arranged on the bottom layer of the vehicle is responsible for motor drive control to realize control of the rotating speed of each omnidirectional wheel of the unmanned vehicle, and the upper control board adjusts the rotating speed difference of each motor after receiving broadcast information to realize control of front-back and left-right movement of the trolley, thereby realizing control of the formation of the trolley. The upper control panel and the bottom control panel are in communication connection through a CAN.
With the method in example two, three simulation scenarios for cooperative formation of unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned vehicles are as follows:
a) collaborative patrol
Two formation modes are designed to complete the air-ground cooperative patrol task of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the unmanned vehicle.
Set for fixed formation mode, regard as the pilot with an unmanned aerial vehicle, another unmanned aerial vehicle is as the follower, and 5 unmanned vehicles are as the follower, regard as the center with the pilot, enclose into a circular, keep formation when following the pilot motion.
A satellite surrounding formation mode is designed, an unmanned aerial vehicle is used as a center, and 5 unmanned vehicles perform circular motion around the unmanned aerial vehicle. The cooperative patrol formation is shown in fig. 6.
