Geofence Compliance Maneuvers for Fixed-Wing Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles

Geofencing is essential for ensuring the safe and regulated operation of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) within designated airspaces. For fixed-wing UAVs, which operate under roll angle and roll rate limitations, the early detection of potential geofence boundary violations and t...

Bifurcation-Based Quadrotor Guidance for Circular Inspection Modes

This paper presents a new guidance method for a quadrotor uncrewed aerial vehicle to perform standoff inspection from specific viewpoints arranged along a circular periphery surrounding a structure. The proposed approach leverages a bifurcation-theory-based framework to realize m...
