In recent years, the rapid development of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has resulted in their widespread applications across various scenarios. However, single UAVs encounter multiple challenges during mission execution. Consequently, an increasing number of tasks are being conducted in the form of UAV formations. This paper focuses on quadrotor UAVs and proposes a formation control scheme that can be validated through simulation and experimentation. The research begins with the dynamic modeling of quadrotor UAVs and the design of an experimental platform for UAVs. The formation structure of UAVs is then developed based on the Leader-Follower theory, and a multi-type PID controller is employed to design the formation control algorithm.
