Development of Linear Battery Model for Path Planning with Mixed Integer Linear Programming: Simulated and Experimental Validation
Drew Scott, Satyanarayana G. Manyam, David W. Casbeer +3
Mixed Integer Linear Programs (MILPs) are often used in the path planning of both ground and aerial vehicles. Such a formulation of the path planning problem requires a linear obje…
The Weighted Markov-Dubins Problem
Deepak Prakash Kumar, Swaroop Darbha, Satyanarayana Gupta Manyam +1
In this article, a variation of the classical Markov-Dubins problem is considered, which deals with curvature-constrained least-cost paths in a plane with prescribed initial and fi…
Cooperative Coverage with a Leader and a Wingmate in Communication-Constrained Environments
Sai Krishna Kanth Hari, Sivakumar Rathinam, Swaroop Darbha +1
We consider a mission framework in which two unmanned vehicles (UVs), a leader and a wingmate, are required to provide cooperative coverage of an environment while being within a s…
Surveillance of a Faster Fixed-Course Target
Isaac E. Weintraub, Alexander Von Moll, Eloy Garcia +2
The maximum surveillance of a target which is holding course is considered, wherein an observer vehicle aims to maximize the time that a faster target remains within a fixed-range…
Path Planning and Energy Management of Hybrid Air Vehicles for Urban Air Mobility
Satyanarayana G. Manyam, David W. Casbeer, Swaroop Darbha +2
A novel coupled path planning and energy management problem for a hybrid unmanned air vehicle is considered, where the hybrid vehicle is powered by a dual gas/electric system. Such…
Assisted Shortest Path Planning for a Convoy through a Repairable Network
Abhay Singh Bhadoriya, Christopher Montez, Sivakumar Rathinam +3
In this article, we consider a multi-agent path planning problem in a partially impeded environment. The impeded environment is represented by a graph with select road segments (ed…
Optimal Geodesic Curvature Constrained Dubins' Paths on a Sphere
Swaroop Darbha, Athindra Pavan, K. R. Rajagopal +3
In this article, we consider the motion planning of a rigid object on the unit sphere with a unit speed. The motion of the object is constrained by the maximum absolute value, $U_{…
Optimal Strategies for the Game of Protecting a Plane in 3-D
Eloy Garcia, Isaac Weintraub, David W. Casbeer +1
A conflict between rational and autonomous agents is considered. The paper addresses a differential game of protecting a target in the 3-D space. This problem highlights the strong…
