We are pleased to announce that the book chapter “Trajectory Planning Based on Collocation Methods for Adaptive Motion Control of Multiple Aerial and Ground Autonomous Vehicles” co-authored by S. Vera, F. Petric, G. Heredia, A. Ollero, and Z. Kovačić has just been published in the book Control of Complex Systems, Editor(s): K. G. Vamvoudakis and J. Sarangapani, Elsevier Inc., pp. 575-624, 2016 (available on-line: DOI:10.1016/B978-0-12-805246-4.00001-X).
In this chapter we describe a centralized method of optimal trajectory planning for multiple unmanned vehicles based on the recently concluded research and development processes in the European FP7 project named EC-SAFEMOBIL. The method can be used with aerial or ground vehicles, as well as in mixed scenarios with aerial and ground vehicles.
