摘要

This paper presents an algorithm that generates collision-free trajectories in three dimensions for multiple vehicles within seconds. The problem is cast as a non-convex optimization problem, which is iteratively solved using sequential convex programming that approximates non-convex constraints by using convex ones. The method generates trajectories that account for simple dynamics constraints and is thus independent of the vehicle's type. An extensive a posteriori vehicle-specific feasibility check is included in the algorithm. The algorithm is applied to a quadrocopter fleet. Experimental results are shown.
