Advanced UAV Trajectory Generation: Planning and Guidance

As technology and legislation move forward (JAA & Eurocontrol, 2004) remotely controlled, semi-autonomous or autonomous Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) will play a significant role in providing services and enhancing safety and security of the military and civilian community at large (e.g. surveillance and monitoring) (Coifman et al., 2004). The potential market for UAVs is, however, much bigger ...

Trajectory Planning and Lateral Control for Agricultural Guidance Applications

This paper addresses a planning approach based on B-splines for successively generated trajectories. Additionally, the lateral controller which was used to calculate the steering angle is described and the method how the required parameters were determined is introduced. It is explained how the output of a perception system is used to generate control points for the trajectory and how the input...

Robot Arm Trajectory Planning Using Missile Guidance Algorithm

This paper presents a novel approach to on-line trajectory planning of robot arms for the interception of a fastmaneuvering object under torque and velocity constraints. Especially, the trajectory planning in the Y direction employs a missile guidance algorithm to intercept the maneuvering object. The proposed method yields that a robot arm can smoothly grasp a maneuvering object. Simulation re...

Trajectory and Task Planning

Trajectory Planning

Trajectory planning consists in finding a time series of successive joint angles that allows moving a robot from a starting configuration towards a goal configuration, in order to achieve a task, such as grabbing an object from a conveyor belt and placing it on a shelf. This trajectory must respect given constraints: for instance, the robot should not collide with the environment, the joint ang...
