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…
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…
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…
One-vs-one Threat-Aware Weaponeering with Basic Engagement Zones
Alexander Von Moll, Dejan MilutinoviÄ, Isaac Weintraub +1
In this paper we address the problem of 'weaponeering', i.e., placing the weapon engagement zone (WEZ) of a vehicle on a moving target, while simultaneously avoiding the target's W…
