Routing Multiple Unmanned Vehicles in GPS-Denied Environments
Bingyu Wang, Sohum Misra, Sivakumar Rathinam +2
This article aims to develop novel path planning algorithms required to deploy multiple unmanned vehicles in Global Positioning System (GPS) denied environments. Unmanned vehicles…
Path Planning Algorithms for a Car-Like Robot visiting a set of Waypoints with Field of View Constraints
Sivakumar Rathinam, Satyanarayana Gupta Manyam, Yuntao Zhang
This article considers two variants of a shortest path problem for a car-like robot visiting a set of waypoints. The sequence of waypoints to be visited is specified in the first v…
Persistent Monitoring of Dynamically Changing Environments Using an Unmanned Vehicle
Sai Krishna Kanth Hari, Sivakumar Rathinam, Swaroop Darbha +3
We consider the problem of planning a closed walk for a UAV to persistently monitor a finite number of stationary targets with equal priorities and dynamically changin…
Cooperative Planning for Fuel-constrained Aerial Vehicles and Ground-based Refueling Vehicles for Large-Scale Coverage
Parikshit Maini, Kaarthik Sundar, Sivakumar Rathinam +1
Low cost Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) need multiple refuels to accomplish large area coverage. The number of refueling stations and their placement plays a vital role in determi…
A Distributed Hybrid Hardware-In-the-Loop Simulation framework for Infrastructure Enabled Autonomy
Abhishek Nayak, Kenny Chour, Tyler Marr +5
Infrastructure Enabled Autonomy (IEA) is a new paradigm that employs a distributed intelligence architecture for connected autonomous vehicles by offloading core functionalities to…
Infrastructure Enabled Autonomy: A Distributed Intelligence Architecture for Autonomous Vehicles
Swaminathan Gopalswamy, Sivakumar Rathinam
Multiple studies have illustrated the potential for dramatic societal, environmental and economic benefits from significant penetration of autonomous driving. However, all the curr…
Landmark Placement for Localization in a GPS-denied Environment
Kaarthik Sundar, Shriram Srinivasan, Sohum Misra +2
Path planning algorithms for unmanned aerial or ground vehicles, in many surveillance applications, rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) information for localization. However, d…
