Collaborative Mapping and Search for Autonomous Helicopters
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-05)
This paper describes recent results from a partnership between the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and the Georgia Institute of Technology to develop, improve, and flight test a multi-aircraft collaborative architecture, ...
Longitudinal Motion Planning for Slung-Loads Using Simplified Models and Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-01)
A randomized motion-planning approach to providing guidance
for helicopters with under-slung loads is presented. Rapidly-exploring Random
Trees are adapted to plan trajectories for simplified helicopter-load models.
Four ...

Efficient Approximation of Optimal High-Order Kinematic Trajectories
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-01)
A method for efficiently planning one-dimensional pop-limited trajectories is presented,
along with a direct method for synchronizing trajectories across multiple dimensions. This
heuristic is designed for a double ...
Monocular Visual Mapping for Obstacle Avoidance on UAVs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-01)
An unmanned aerial vehicle requires adequate knowledge of its surroundings in order to operate in close proximity to obstacles. UAVs also have strict payload and power constraints which limit the number and variety of ...
