A Novel Model for 3D Motion Planning for a Generalized Dubins Vehicle with Pitch and Yaw Rate Constraints
Deepak Prakash Kumar, Swaroop Darbha, Satyanarayana Gupta Manyam +1
In this paper, we propose a new modeling approach and a fast algorithm for 3D motion planning, applicable for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles. The goal is to construct the shor…
An Exact Algorithm for Load-Dependent Traveling Salesman Problem for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Package Delivery
Deepak Prakash Kumar, Saurabh Belgaonkar, Sivakumar Rathinam +2
In this article, we present a novel formulation for the load-dependent traveling salesman problem (LD-TSP), in which travel cost (or energy expended) depends on the vehicle's curre…
Time-optimal Convexified Reeds-Shepp Paths on a Sphere
Sixu Li, Deepak Prakash Kumar, Swaroop Darbha +1
This article studies the time-optimal path planning problem for a convexified Reeds-Shepp (CRS) vehicle on a unit sphere, capable of both forward and backward motion, with speed bo…
A New Approach to Motion Planning in 3D for a Dubins Vehicle: Special Case on a Sphere
Deepak Prakash Kumar, Swaroop Darbha, Satyanarayana Gupta Manyam +1
In this article, a new model for 3D motion planning, applicable to aerial vehicles, is proposed to connect an initial and final configuration subject to pitch rate and yaw rate con…
A Path Planning Algorithm for a Hybrid UAV Traveling in Noise Restricted Zones
Saurabh Belgaonkar, Deepak Prakash Kumar, Sivakumar Rathinam +2
This paper presents an integrated approach for efficient path planning and energy management in hybrid unmanned aerial vehicles (HUAVs) equipped with dual fuel-electric propulsion…
Generation of Paths for Motion Planning for a Dubins Vehicle on Sphere
Deepak Prakash Kumar, Swaroop Darbha, Satyanarayana Gupta Manyam +1
In this article, the candidate optimal paths for a Dubins vehicle on a sphere are analytically derived. In particular, the arc angles for segments in , , , and $CCC…
