3D real-time path planning of UAVs in dynamic environments

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are taking active roles in personal, commercial, industrial and military applications due to their efficiency, availability and low-cost. UAVs must operate safely and in real-time in both static and dynamic environments. An extensive literature review, defines the dynamic environment term, the need for dynamic...

3D Real–time Path Planning of UAVs in dynamic environments in the presence of uncertainty

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being integrated into all spheres of life varying in a wide range of applications from military to civil applications. In such applications, UAVs are expected to operate safely in the presence of uncertainties present in the dynamic environment and the UAV itself. Based on literature different uncertainty...

Comparison of A* and RRT in real–time 3D path planning of UAVs

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are being integrated into a wide range of military, industrial and commercial applications. Such applications require faultless autonomous systems to coordinate, guide, navigate and control different UAVs of different sizes, designed for different purposes with different capabilities. In this regard, different...
