  1. 1. GPU-Based Path Optimization Algorithm in High-Resolution Cost Map with Kinodynamic Constraints : Using Non-Reversible Parallel Tempering

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Daniel Greenberg; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis introduces a GPU-accelerated algorithm for path planning under kinodynamic constraints, focusing on navigation of flying vehicles within a high-resolution cost map. The algorithm operates by creating dynamically feasible initial paths, and a non-reversible parallel tempering Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme to optimize the paths while adhering to the nonholonomic kinodynamical constraints.

  5. 4. A Method for Optimizing for Charging Cost in Electric Vehicle Routing

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DVMT)

    Author : Matthew Lehrer; [2023]
    Keywords : Electric Vehicle Routing; Electric Vehicles; Shortest Path Problem with Constraints; EV; Charging Stations; Cost Optimization;

    Abstract : Adoption of electric vehicles has been restrained by the availability of charging stations and consumer fear of being stranded with a depleted battery, far from the nearest charger. In many areas of the world, charging stations are now widely available and the transition from vehicles with internal combustion engines is accelerating, though still in a fairly early stage.

  6. 5. Local Planning for Unmanned Ground Vehicles using Imitation Learning

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Johan Henningsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Mobile robotics is an expanding field worldwide leading to the need for advanced path-planning algorithms that can traverse various environments. Current state-ofthe- art path-planning algorithms used at the Swedish Defence Research Agency, FOI, tend to be inflexible and parameter dependent. READ MORE
