Abstract:This research presents an online path planner for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that can handle dynamic obstacles and UAV motion constraints, including maximum curvature and desired orientations. Our proposed planner uses a NURBS path representation and a Differential Evolution algorithm, incorporating concepts from the Velocity Obstacle approach in a constraint function. Initial results show that our approach is feasible and provides a foundation for future extensions to three-dimensional (3D) environments.
