Application of the Finite Fourier Series for Smooth Motion Planning of Quadrotors 

Kovryzhenko, Yevhenii (2023-07-26)
Motion planning and control system design are crucial in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for various applications. To maximize the mission performance, trajectory design is often performed to minimize ...

Infinitely Many Optimal Iso-Impulse Trajectories in Two-Body Dynamics 

Saloglu, Keziban (2023-07-27)
Rendezvous maneuvers are designed to match the position and velocity vectors of a target body (e.g., planet, comet, satellite) whereas transfer maneuvers are designed to match the orbital elements of the target body, except ...

Mapped Adjoint Control Transformation for Low-Thrust Space Mission Design 

Jawaharlal Ayyanathan, Praveen (2023-07-27)
Spacecraft trajectory optimization is an essential task in space mission design. The propulsion system of the spacecraft can affect the type of trajectories that can be realized by a spacecraft. In the past few decades, ...

The Tiger Optimization Software - A Pseudospectral Optimal Control Package 

Sowell, Samuel (2022-11-29)
The fields of trajectory optimization and optimal control are closely connected. Practical trajectory optimization techniques are built on the indirect and direct methods for solving optimal control problems. Indirect ...
