In some military application scenarios, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) need to perform
missions with the assistance of on-board cameras when radar is not available and …

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 …

This paper addresses an optimization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight trajectories
by bank-turn mechanism for a fixed-wing UAV at a constant altitude. The flight trajectories …

In this article, several basic swarming laws for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are
developed for both two-dimensional (2D) plane and three-dimensional (3D) space. Effects of …

This paper proposes UAV rendezvous and standoff tracking guidance laws against a
moving target using differential geometry. Searching and subsequent tracking of moving …

We address optimal path planning in three-dimensional space for an aerial vehicle with
bounded turn radius. The objective is to calculate a feasible path of minimum length when …

This paper presents a path planning approach for achieving an optimal feasible path
satisfying a maximum curvature bound in three dimensional space, given initial and final …

This paper presents a road-network search route planning algorithm by which multiple
autonomous vehicles are able to efficiently visit every road identified in the map in the …

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

In the deterministic formulation, two problems are considered related to the generation of
admissible reference actions for the automatic control of an autonomous mobile robot in the …
