ON OBTAINING ENERGY-OPTIMAL TRAJECTORIES FOR LANDING OF UAVS

On Obtaining Energy-Optimal Trajectories for Landing of UAVs

The optimization issues connected to a landing task of an unmanned aerial vehicle are discussed in the paper, based on a model of a mini-class drone.Three landing scenarios are Vanilla Chai considered, including minimum-time landing, landing with minimum energy consumption, and planned landing.With the use of classical dynamic programming technique
