In this work, we address the trajectory optimization of a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using free space optical communication (FSOC). Here, we focus on maximizing the flight time of the UAV by considering practical constraints…

Path planning for multiple robots is well studied in the AI and robotics communities. For a given discretized environment, robots need to find collision-free paths to a set of specified goal locations. Robots can be fully anonymous,…

Wireless communications is nowadays an important aspect of robotics. There are many applications in which a robot must move to a certain goal point while transmitting information through a wireless channel which depends on the particular…

A Differential Drive Robot (DDR) located inside a circular detection region in the plane wants to escape from it in minimum time. Various robotics applications can be modeled like the previous problem, such as a DDR escaping as soon as…

As the number of uncontrollable objects in low earth orbit is rising, the thread of collisions and thus the breakdown of working satellites becomes worth analyzing. Consequently, projects on removing objects from the important orbits are…

Fixed-wing small uncrewed aerial vehicles (sUAVs) possess the capability to remain airborne for extended durations and traverse vast distances. However, their operation is susceptible to wind conditions, particularly in regions of complex…

In the incoming years, the low-aerial space will be crowded by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which will be providing different services. In this expected context, an emerging problem is to detect and track unauthorized or malicious…

In this paper, we study an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled wireless power transfer (WPT) network, where a UAV flies at a constant altitude in the sky to provide wireless energy supply for a set of ground nodes with a linear topology.…

We investigate the problem of finding paths that enable a robot modeled as a Dubins car (i.e., a constant-speed finite-turn-rate unicycle) to escape from a circular region of space in minimum time. This minimum-time escape problem arises in…

We consider the problem of transporting multiple packages from an initial location to a destination location in a windy urban environment using a team of SUAVs. Each SUAV carries one package. We assume that the wind field is unknown, but…

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tracking is critical for applications like surveillance, search-and-rescue, and autonomous navigation. However, the high-speed movement of UAVs and targets introduces unique challenges, including real-time…

The vehicle routing problem with drones (VRP-D) is to determine the optimal routes of trucks and drones such that the total operational cost is minimized in a scenario where the trucks work in tandem with the drones to deliver parcels to…

This paper develops and compares two motion planning algorithms for a tethered UAV with and without the possibility of the tether contacting the confined and cluttered environment. Tethered aerial vehicles have been studied due to their…

In this paper the problem of guidance formulation for autonomous soft landing of unmanned aerial vehicles on stationary, moving, or accelerating / maneuvering ground vehicles at desired approach angles in both azimuth and elevation is…

In this paper, we consider a cellular-connected unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with an information collection and transmission mission for multiple ground targets. Specifically, the UAV is required to collect a fixed amount of information of…

Low-altitude economy includes the application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) serving ground robots. This paper investigates the 3-dimensional (3D) trajectory and communication optimization for low-altitude air-ground cooperation…

This paper studies an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled wireless sensor network, in which one UAV flies in the sky to collect the data transmitted from a set of sensors via distributed beamforming. We consider the delay-sensitive…

Utilization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in military and civil operations is getting popular. One of the challenges in effectively tasking these expensive vehicles is planning the flight routes to monitor the targets. In this work, we…

We consider the problem of planning a closed walk $\mathcal W$ for a UAV to persistently monitor a finite number of stationary targets with equal priorities and dynamically changing properties. A UAV must physically visit the targets in…

This paper studies an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-enabled multicasting system, where a UAV is dispatched to disseminate a common file to a number of geographically distributed ground terminals (GTs). Our objective is to design the UAV…
