Loiter UAV Reinsertion Guidance for Fixed-wing UAV Corridors
Pradeep J, Kedarisetty Siddhardha, Ashwini Ratnoo
This paper considers fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) corridors comprising a main lane, a circular loiter lane for managing traffic congestion, and transit lanes connecting…
Slot-hopping Enabled Loiter Guidance and Automation for Fixed-wing UAV Corridors
Pradeep J, Siddhardha Kedarisetty, Ashwini Ratnoo
This paper addresses the problem of traffic congestion management in fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) corridors by further developing a recently introduced loiter-lane fram…
Multi-UAV Path Following using Vector-Field Guidance
Gautam Kumar, Amit Shivam, Ashwini Ratnoo
This paper presents a decentralized, collision-free framework for path following guidance of multiple uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), while maintaining uniform spacing along a ref…
A Novel Convex Layers Strategy for Circular Formation in Multi-Agent Systems
Gautam Kumar, Ashwini Ratnoo
This article considers the problem of conflict-free distribution of point-sized agents on a circular periphery encompassing all agents. The two key elements of the proposed policy…
Latent Space Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Robot Exploration
Sriram Rajasekar, Ashwini Ratnoo
Autonomous mapping of unknown environments is a critical challenge, particularly in scenarios where time is limited. Multi-agent systems can enhance efficiency through collaboratio…
Closing Speed Computation using Stereo Camera and Applications in Unsignalized T-Intersection
Gautam Kumar, Ashwini Ratnoo
This letter presents a conflict resolution strategy for an autonomous vehicle mounted with a stereo camera approaching an unsignalized T-intersection. A mathematical model for unce…
