New algorithms for trajectory planning and control of fixed-wing 'tailsitter' aircraft are faster and more efficient than traditional quadcopter drones. The algorithms can execute challenging ...

MIT researchers are turning to human intuition to improve planning algorithms. The International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling holds a competition every other year in search of the ...

According to the environment modeling approach, path planning algorithms of micro-/nanorobots are classified into searching, sampling, and dynamic aspects. The searching path planning algorithms ...

This study presents an enhanced RRT* algorithm for deep-sea mining vehicles, improving path planning and obstacle avoidance ...

Back in the hazy olden days of the pre-2000s, navigating between two locations generally required someone to whip out a paper map and painstakingly figure out the most optimal route between those ...

A tailsitter is a fixed-wing aircraft that takes off and lands vertically (it sits on its tail on the landing pad), and then tilts horizontally for forward flight. Faster and more efficient than ...
