Curvature Continuous and Bounded Path Planning for Fixed-Wing UAVs by Xiaoliang Wang, Peng Jiang, Deshi Li, Tao Sun

“…In this paper, we propose a locally-adjustable, continuous-curvature, bounded path-planning algorithm for fixed-wing UAVs. To deal with the curvature discontinuity problem, an optimal interpolation algorithm and a key-point shift algorithm are proposed based on the derivation of a curvature continuity condition. …”
