In this paper, a dynamic path planning method for swarming of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the urban environment is presented. For the missions of a team of UAVs in a complex environment, conflict-free paths for all vehicles should be calculated dynamically in real-time using the latest information on the changes in the surroundings such as pop-up threats. Therefore, we propose a hierarch...

VII. CONCLUSION In this paper, optimal path planning for robot manipulator is presented that utilizes a variational technique. A simplified robot arm is considered to facilitate geometric collision checking scheme. This is incorporated in the variational technique to develop a collision avoidance strategy. The collision checking scheme is rather stringent. However, it reduces the computational ...

The paper deals with a set of algorithms including path planning, trajectory planning, and path tracking for a tricycle type wheeled mobile robot. Path planning is carried out with parametric polynomial interpolation using an optimization algorithm based on robot geometric constraints. Trajec-tory characteristics are then derived from the planned geometric path with time varying parameters. A s...

In the paper we present a solution to the optimal trajectory planning problem subject to constraints given by joint torques and velocities, and the task. The main result is a trajectory planning algorithm which enables the calculation of the optimal motion due to the given requirements and taking into account the dynamics of the manipulator. First, the dynamic model of the manipulator in the pa...

This paper presents a mobile robot navigation method based on human walking trajectory in intelligent space. Unlike the traditional navigation methods, the proposed method enables the robot to walk a meaningful path, which reflects human activity patterns in daily life. Human walking trajectories are extracted using multiple distributed vision cameras in intelligent space. To group trajectories...
