5. 4. On the utilization of Nonlinear MPC for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Path Planning

   Författare :Björn Lindqvist; George Nikolakopoulos; Dimos Dimarogonas; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles; Obstacle Avoidance; Collision Avoidance; Nonlinear MPC; Model Predictive Control; Multi-agent Systems; Dynamic Obstacles; Robotics and Artificial Intelligence; Robotik och artificiell intelligens;

   Sammanfattning : This compilation thesis presents an overarching framework on the utilization of nonlinear model predictive control(NMPC) for various applications in the context of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) path planning and collision avoidance. Fast and novel optimization algorithms allow for NMPC formulations with high runtime requirement, as those posed by controlling UAVs, to also have sufficiently large prediction horizons as to in an efficient manner integrate collision avoidance in the form of set-exclusion constraints that constrain the available position-space of the robot.
