Continuous Monitoring of a Path-Constrained Moving Target by Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

In this work, a continuous monitoring scenario where multiple unmanned aerial vehicles are tasked to monitor a dynamic target moving along a path with unknown speed profile is addressed. Optimal trajectories based on the nominal trajectory of the …

Persistent Monitoring by Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Using Bernstein Polynomials

A framework for monitoring a target modeled as Dubins car using multiple UAVs is proposed. The UAVs are subject to minimum and maximum speed, maximum angular rate constraints, as well as inter-vehicle safety requirements and no-fly-zones. The problem …
