Path planning processes in 3D environments with obstacles are essential for ensuring the successful navigation of unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Recently, the artificial intelligence theory presents increasingly effective algorithms and tools to address such a robotics challenge. This paper presents a comparative study of two most commonly used Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms, namely Q-learning and SARSA learning. Through numerical experimentations under different navigation scenarios with varying levels of complexity and increasing numbers of static obstacles, key performance metrics like path's length, total actions number, average reward, execution time and collision avoidance are considered and evaluated. The demonstrative results indicate that the Q-learning algorithm well addressed the challenges of UAVs' path planning in static environments. The performance of such an algorithm has proven to be satisfactory and more promising for UAVs' navigation in complex configuration spaces when compared to the SARSA algorithm.

The rise in autonomous unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for objectives requiring long-term navigation in diverse environments is attributed to their compact, agile, and accessible nature. Specifically, problems exploring dynamic obstacle and collision avoidance are of increasing interest as UAVs become more popular for tasks such as transportation of goods, formation control, and search and rescue routines. Prioritizing safety in the design of autonomous UAVs is crucial to prevent costly collisions that endanger pedestrians, mission success, and property. Safety must be ensured in these systems whose behavior emerges from multiple software components including learning-enabled components. Learning-enabled components, optimized through machine learning (ML) or reinforcement learning (RL), require adherence to safety constraints while interacting with the environment during training and deployment, as well as adaptation to new unknown environments. In this paper, we safeguard autonomous UAV navigation by designing agents based on behavior trees with learning-enabled components, referred to as Evolving Behavior Trees (EBTs). We learn the structure of EBTs with explicit safety components, optimize learning-enabled components with safe hierarchical RL, deploy, and update specific components for transfer to unknown environments. Safe and successful navigation is evaluated using a realistic UAV simulation environment. The results demonstrate the design of an explainable learned EBT structure, incurring near-zero collisions during training and deployment, with safe time-efficient transfer to an unknown environment.

unmanned Aerial systems have become ubiquitous and are now widely used in commercial, consumer, and military applications. Their widespread use is due to a combination of their low cost, high capability, and ability to perform tasks and go places that are not easy or safe for humans. Most UAS platforms are dependent on Global navigation Satellite systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), to provide positioning information for navigation and flight control. Without reliable GPS signals, the flight path cannot be trusted, and flight safety cannot be assured. However, GPS is vulnerable to several types of malicious attacks, including jamming, spoofing, or physical attacks on the GPS constellation itself. Additionally, there are environments in which GPS reception is not always possible, a key example being urban canyon areas where line-of-site to the GPS satellite constellation may be blocked or obscured by large obstacles such as buildings. Numerous methods have been proposed for position estimation in GPS denied environments. However, these methods have significant limitations and typically exhibit poor performance in certain environments and scenarios. This paper analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of existing alternate positioning methods and describes a framework where multiple positioning solutions are jointly employed to construct an optimal position estimate. The proposed framework aims to reduce computation complexity of and yield good positioning performance across a wide variety of environments.

In many application domains, navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires a planar flight to move along a desired path or to track a moving object under uncertain conditions. In this paper, we propose a robust control approach for quadrotor UAVs performing a nonholonomic-like navigation with a predefined velocity based guidance law. Specifically, the quadrotor model is first recast in the framework of nonholonomic systems, and then an adaptive multiple-surface sliding mode approach, with suboptimal second order sliding mode control, is applied. The robustness features of the proposed approach are discussed and assessed in simulation.
