This article addresses an important path planning problem for robots and Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles (UAVs), which is to find the shortest path of bounded curvature passing through a …

The herein studied problem is motivated by practical needs of our participation in the
Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) 2017 in which a team of …

This paper addresses a MinMax variant of the Dubins multiple traveling salesman problem
(mTSP). This routing problem arises naturally in mission planning applications involving …

This paper addresses the problem of minimum-effort waypoint-following guidance
with/without arrival angle constraints of an unmanned aerial vehicle. By using a linearized …

The Dubins traveling salesman problem (DTSP) combines the combinatorial optimization of
the optimal sequence of waypoints to visit the required target locations with the continuous …

This article addresses the problem of energy-optimal waypoint-following guidance for an
unmanned aerial vehicle, considering a general autopilot dynamics model. The proposed …

Current research on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) shows a lot of interest in
autonomous UAV navigation. This interest is mainly driven by the necessity to meet the rules …

This paper considers a time-constrained data collection problem from a network of ground
sensors located on uneven terrain by an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), a typical …

Abstract The Generalized Dubins Interval Problem (GDIP) stands to determine the minimal
length path connecting two disk-shaped regions where the departure and terminal headings …

Since the discoveries of favorable deposits are becoming increasingly difficult, mining
operations shift to lower grade and deeper deposits. The viability of these operations is …
