This paper presents a method for semi-autonomous hazard avoidance in the presence of unknown moving obstacles and unpredictable driver inputs. This method iteratively predicts the motion and anticipated intersection of the host vehicle with both static and dynamic hazards and excludes projected collision states from a traversable corridor. A model predictive controller iteratively replans a stability-optimal trajectory through the navigable region of the environment while a threat assessor and semi-autonomous control law modulate driver and controller inputs to maintain stability, preserve controllability, and ensure safe hazard avoidance. The efficacy of this approach is demonstrated through both simulated and experimental results using a semi-autonomously controlled Jaguar S-Type.

This paper proposed a cooperative receding horizon optimal control framework, based on differential flatness and B-splines, which was used to solve the real-time cooperative trajectory planning for multi-UCAV performing cooperative air-to-ground target attack missions. The planning problem was formulated as a cooperative receding horizon optimal control problem (CRHC-OCP), and then the differential flatness and B-splines were introduced to lower the dimension of the planning space and parameterize the spatial trajectories. Moreover, for the dynamic and uncertainty of the battlefield environment, the cooperative receding horizon control was introduced. Finally, the proposed approach is demonstrated, and the results show that this approach is feasible and effective.
