The paper addresses the obstacle avoidance motion planning problem for ground vehicles
operating in uncertain environments. By resorting to set-theoretic ideas, a receding horizon …

This thesis investigates the coordination and control of fleets of unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs). Future UAVs will operate autonomously, and their control systems must compensate …

In this paper we analyze stability properties of multi-agent control system with an artificial
potential based on bell-shaped functions. In our approach attractive and repulsive forces …

This paper presents a new development of collision avoidance algorithm that ensures an
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) can avoid multiple intruders autonomously. Firstly, the …

The continuous growth in the demand for air transportation exceeds the capacity of existing
infrastructure, usually leading to unreliable flight schedules, ie, long flight delays and …

This paper proposes a pair-wise distributed conflict resolution strategy that resolves aircraft
encounters in a provably safe coordinated way. In this approach, each aircraft independently …

This thesis presents several trajectory optimization algorithms for a team of cooperating
unmanned vehicles operating in an uncertain and dynamic environment. The first, designed …

The decentralized navigation function methodology, established in our previous work for
navigation of multiple holonomic agents with global sensing capabilities is extended to the …

This work extends our research on motion coordination of free-range vehicular systems
based on concepts and results borrowed from resource allocation systems (RAS) theory, to …

Rotation-induced Coriolis and centrifugal buoyancy forces result in significant modification
of cooling characteristics of blade pressure and suction side internal walls. The …
