We consider the problem of minimizing the time to approach and land near a target radio beacon at an unknown location with an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). We show that a cone-like region exists above the target inside of which bearing measurements of a directional antenna lose directionality: sign…
This paper considers the problem of choosing measurement locations of an aerial robot in an online manner in order to localize an animal with a radio collar. The aerial robot has a commercial, low-cost directional antenna and USB receiver to capture the signal. It uses its own movement to obtain a b…
This paper considers the problem of finding the shortest tour to cover a given set of inverted cone views with apex angle α and height H when their apex points lie on a planar surface. This is a novel variant of the 3D Traveling Salesman Problem with intersecting Neighborhoods (TSPN) called Cone-TSP…
