The recent progress in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) technology has significantly
advanced UAV-based applications for military, civil, and commercial domains. Nevertheless …

Intersection management is one of the most challenging problems within the transport
system. Traffic light-based methods have been efficient but are not able to deal with the …

Classical models of aerial swarms often describe global coordinated motion as the
combination of local interactions that happen at the individual level. Mathematically, these …

This paper presents an algorithm that generates collision-free trajectories in three
dimensions for multiple vehicles within seconds. The problem is cast as a non-convex …

The use of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) in both the public and military environments is
predicted to grow significantly. As the demand for UASs grows, the availability of more …

This paper presents a formulation for distributed model predictive control (DMPC) of systems
with coupled constraints. The approach divides the single large planning optimization into …

Autonomous spacecraft rendezvous is an enabling technology for many future space
missions, but anomalies in recent flight experiments suggest that safety considerations will …

Real-world autonomous vehicles often operate in a priori unknown environments. Since
most of these systems are safety-critical, it is important to ensure they operate safely even …

Electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles are becoming promising for on-demand air
transportation in urban air mobility (UAM). However, successfully bringing such vehicles and …

This paper implements robust decentralized model predictive control (DMPC) for a team of
cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs). The problem involves vehicles with …
