Optimal control and trajectory optimization are central disciplines in aerospace engineering, enabling the design of efficient, safe and robust flight paths while minimising fuel consumption and ...

The proposed disturbance rejection optimal guidance method has two key components: real-time nominal trajectory generation and robust neighboring optimal feedback control. Correspondingly, this ...

For the first time an autonomously flying quadrotor has outperformed two human pilots in a drone race. The success is based on a novel algorithm that calculates time-optimal trajectories that fully ...

Multi-impulse orbital rendezvous is a classical spacecraft trajectory optimization problem, which has been widely studied for a long time. Numerical optimization methods, deeplearning (DL) methods, ...

The Trajectory Optimization Layer (TOL) is a middleware component of the EA-DDDAS aircraft control system. It resides below the extended time-horizon path planner and above the aircraft path following ...
