In this work, a comprehensive control strategy for obstacle avoidance in redundant
manipulation is presented, consisting of a combination of off-line path planning algorithms …

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are ideally suited for many real-world applications
ranging from scientific to commercial, industrial, and military fields. Enhancing the efficiency …

The paper proposes a new planning primitive, named η 3 D-splines, based on 7th order
polynomials, which is suited to generate three-dimensional paths characterized by third …

The purpose of this thesis is to model and develop a control law that lets an unmanned
aerial vehicle of blimp type fly autonomously in three-dimensional space. There are several …

Trajectories in the operational space, when conceived for manipulators with more then three
degrees of freedom, impose the adoption of both a position and an orientation primitive for …

Curvature constraint is an essential constraint for smooth turning because of the physical
limitation of vehicles on lateral acceleration during turning. In this research, we present three …

None of the possible advantages of autonomous vehicles are going to become reality if the
autonomous vehicles are not going to be able to move properly in various different urban …

Convex hull property is an important characteristic when designing Bezier curves. Convex
hull can be used for obstacle avoidance in path generating of cars. In more complex cases …
