Minimum-Time Escape from a Circular Region for a Dubins Car
We investigate the problem of finding paths that enable a robot modeled as a Dubins car (i.e., a constant-speed finite-turn-rate unicycle) to escape from a circular region of space in minimum time. This minimum-time escape problem arises in marine, aerial, and ground robotics in situations where a safety region has been violated and must be exited before a potential negative consequence occurs (e.g., a collision). Using the tools of nonlinear optimal control theory, we show that a surprisingly simple closed-form feedback control law solves this minimum-time escape problem, and that the minimum-time paths have an elegant geometric interpretation.

Min-Time Escape of a Dubins Car from a Polygon
A turn constrained vehicle is initially located inside a polygon region and desires to escape in minimum time. First, the method of characteristics is used to describe the time-optimal strategies for reaching a line of i…
Occlusion-Aware Ground Target Tracking by a Dubins Vehicle using Visibility Volumes
This paper considers the problem of tracking a point of interest (POI) moving along a known trajectory on the ground with an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) modeled as a Dubins vehicle using a line-of-sight (LOS) sensor th…
PositionMinimum Time Dubins Airplane Paths with Asymmetric Climb Rates
Dubins airplane paths approximate the limited maneuverability of fixed-wing vehicles with minimum curvature and climb rate constraints. However, the symmetric climb rate constraints result in sub-optimal paths and conser…

This paper addresses orbital stabilization of a circular motion primitive for a dynamic extension of the Dubins car model within a transverse-linearization framework. We show that the corresponding transverse linearizati…
Shortest Trajectory of a Dubins Vehicle with a Controllable Laser
We formulate a novel planar motion planning problem for a Dubins-Laser system that consists of a Dubins vehicle with an attached controllable laser. The vehicle moves with unit speed and the laser, having a finite range,…
