Abstract
In this paper, a team of cooperative Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) maintains a desired geometrical formation while tracking a reference trajectory using a new control approach. Decentralized Learning Based Model Predictive Control (DLBMPC) is a new control technique that combines statistical learning along with control engineering while providing guarantees on safety, robustness and convergence. The ability of the proposed DLBMPC controller in solving the problem of formation for a team of cooperative UAVs is solved in simulation. The designed controller respects the general formation constraints known as Reynolds rules of flocking. Our main contribution in this paper lays in the stabilization of a group of cooperative UAVs, in a desired formation, while tracking a reference trajectory using DLBMPC in the presence of model uncertainties.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
