This paper considers an M-pursuer N-evader scenario involving virtual targets. The virtual targets serve as an intermediary target for the pursuers, allowing the pursuers to delay their final assignment to the evaders. However, upon reaching the …
Here we study an optimal control problem involving energy management of a hybrid-fuel Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The planning problem for a hybrid-fuel platform involves determining the path while managing the energy resources, which includes a …
A conflict between rational and autonomous agents is considered. The paper addresses a differential game of protecting a target in the 3-D space. This problem highlights the strong correlation between the highly dynamic scenario, the uncertainty on …
This paper focuses on optimizing the 3D flight trajectory of a fixed-wing follower aircraft in a leader-follower formation scenario. Instead of a rigid formation, the desired formation is defined as set of points configured as a ring located behind …
In this paper, we consider a trajectory planning problem where an autonomous vehicle aims to rendezvous with another cooperating vehicle in minimum time. The first vehicle has kinematic constraints, consequently feasible trajectories must have a …
A framework for monitoring a target modeled as Dubins car using multiple UAVs is proposed. The UAVs are subject to minimum and maximum speed, maximum angular rate constraints, as well as inter-vehicle safety requirements and no-fly-zones. The problem …
We consider a multiple vehicle path planning problem with curvature constraints in the presence of obstacles, where multiple vehicles need to arrive at a given final location simultaneously. We aim to find the paths using a simplex framework that …
