Computing optimal trajectories for a tethered pursuer
Aurelio Barrera-Vicent, José Miguel Díaz-Báñez, Fabio Rodríguez +1
In this paper, we introduce a trajectory planning problem for a marsupial robotics system consisting of a ground robot, a drone, and a taut tether of bounded length connecting the…
Efficient variable-length hanging tether parameterization for marsupial robot planning in 3D environments
S. Martínez-Rozas, D. Alejo, F. Caballero +6
This paper presents a novel approach to efficiently parameterize and estimate the state of a hanging tether for path and trajectory planning of a UGV tied to a UAV in a marsupial c…
MASPA: An efficient strategy for path planning with a tethered marsupial robotics system
Jesús Capitán, José M. Díaz-Báñez, Miguel A. Pérez-Cutiño +2
A tethered marsupial robotics system comprises three components: an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), and a tether connecting both robots. Marsupial…
Optimal Placement of Base Stations in Border Surveillance using Limited Capacity Drones
S. Bereg, J. M. Díaz-Báñez, M. Haghpanah +8
Imagine an island modeled as a simple polygon with vertices whose coastline we wish to monitor. We consider the problem of building the minimum number of refueling stations…
