Model free barrier functions via implicit evading maneuvers

E Squires, R Konda, S Coogan, M Egerstedt - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2021 - arxiv.org
This paper demonstrates that the safety override arising from the use of a barrier function
can in some cases be needlessly restrictive. In particular, we examine the case of fixed-wing …

Composition of safety constraints for fixed-wing collision avoidance amidst limited communications

…, R Konda, S Coogan, M Egerstedt - Journal of Guidance …, 2022 - arc.aiaa.org
This paper considers how to ensure that a system of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
can avoid collisions. To do so, a novel method is developed for creating a barrier …
