Abstract
The paper is dedicated to a formation task in a group of quadrotors. It contains a brief analysis of existing methods for the formation task. The authors also propose a new method for solving the formation task, which make it possible to ensure accurate compliance with distances between quadrotors in the formation, as well as featuring low computational complexity.
This work was supported in part by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research under Grants №14-08-01176, №13-08-00794.
