A Range-Based Algorithm for Autonomous Navigation of an Aerial Drone to Approach and Follow a Herd of Cattle

This paper proposes an algorithm that will allow an autonomous aerial drone to approach and follow a steady or moving herd of cattle using only range measurements. The algorithm is also insensitive to the complexity of the herd’s movement and the measurement noise. Once arrived at the herd of cattle...
