Unmanned aerial vehicle autonomy, planning, and control.
Jianli Sun, Bin Tian, Qiyao Zhang et al.
Aerial manipulation systems have long suffered from representation coupling in end-to-end control, as platform-level Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) movement and end-effector-level arm manipulation differ substantially in action scale, dynamics, and control objectives.

Safe autonomous Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) navigation in urban environments requires real-time path planning that avoids obstacles. MaxConvNet is a potential-field planner that leverages properties of Maxwell's equations to generate a path to the goal without local minima.
