This paper describes co-operative path planning of a group of unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs). The problem undertaken for this study is that of simultaneous arrival on target of a …

This work presents a novel path planner, DE3D-NURBS, for 3D path planning considering
the maximum and minimum climb/dive angle and the maximum curvature imposed by a …

Pythagorean–hodograph curves are characterized by the special property that their
“parametric speed”—ie, the derivative of the arc length with respect to the curve parameter …

In the problem of trajectory optimization for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) passing
through multiple target points, continuous velocity and acceleration in the process of …

This paper presents a cooperative trajectory-generation framework to efficiently compute a
set of spatial trajectories for a team of cooperating vehicles: in particular, for unmanned …

This paper presents a methodology based on a variation of the Rapidly-exploring Random
Trees (RRTs) that generates feasible trajectories for autonomous vehicles with holonomic …

This paper focuses on unmanned aircraft guidance laws for a straight path and a circular
orbit following using the vector field approach. The vector fields introduced in this paper can …

This paper presents a methodology based on a variation of the Rapidly-exploring Random
Trees (RRTs) that generates feasible trajectories for a team of autonomous aerial vehicles …

An aerial robot is a system capable of sustained flight with no direct human control and able
to perform a specific task. A lighter than air robot is an aerial robot that relies on the static lift …

The past decade has witnessed sustained interest in elucidating the basic theory of
Pythagorean–hodograph (PH) curves, develo** construction algorithms, formulating …
