Sequence Modeling for Time-Optimal Quadrotor Trajectory Optimization with Sampling-based Robustness Analysis

CoRL 2025poster

Time-optimal trajectories drive quadrotors to their dynamic limits, but computing such trajectories involves solving non-convex problems via iterative nonlinear optimization, making them prohibitively costly for real-time applications. In this work, we investigate learning-based models that imitate…

TOPPQuad: Dynamically-Feasible Time-Optimal Path Parametrization for Quadrotors

IROS 2024

Planning time-optimal trajectories for quadrotors in cluttered environments is a challenging, non-convex problem. This paper addresses minimizing the traversal time of a given collision-free geometric path without violating actuation bounds of the vehicle. Previous approaches have either relied on c

Trajectory Planning for the Bidirectional Quadrotor as a Differentially Flat Hybrid System

ICRA 2023poster

The use of bidirectional propellers provides quadrotors with greater maneuverability which is advantageous in constrained environments. This paper addresses the development of a trajectory planning algorithm for quadrotors with bidirectional motors. Previous work has shown that the property of diffe…
