The maximum surveillance of a target which is holding course is considered, wherein an observer vehicle aims to maximize the time that a faster target remains within a fixed-range of the observer. This entails two coupled phases: an approach phase …
We consider a perimeter defense problem in a planar conical environment in which a single vehicle, having a finite capture radius, aims to defend a concentric perimeter from mobile intruders. The intruders are arbitrarily released at the …
Here we consider the problem of path planning for a hybrid fuel Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), equipped with both a battery and gasoline generator as two sources of energy. Routing the vehicle while considering this setup adds fuel constraints in …
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 …
