UAV Payload Transportation via RTDP Based Optimized Velocity Profiles

This paper explores the application of a real-time dynamic programming (RTDP) algorithm to transport a payload using a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in order to optimize journey time and energy consumption. The RTDP algorithm is developed by discretizing the journey into distance interva...
