The document discusses bringing mixed integer linear programming (MILP) online for path planning of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It outlines challenges with using traditional MILP for dynamic online path planning, including inability to react to changes and slow solve times. It then presents a solution of using geographic coordinate conversions and a receding horizon approach to discretize the problem and allow incremental re-solving as new information becomes available. This allows MILP to be used for online dynamic path planning of UAVs while addressing its limitations for such applications.

The document discusses using Python, ROS, and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) for coordinating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Python is used for its simplicity and features like lists and functions. ROS provides a framework for coordinating UAV nodes. MILP is used to model the UAV coordination problem and find optimal trajectories that minimize time while avoiding collisions. Several scenarios are modeled using MILP, demonstrating how it can find paths for UAVs to visit waypoints in order while avoiding each other.
The document discusses various collision avoidance techniques for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It outlines Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations regarding collision avoidance and summarizes algorithms such as the discrete graph algorithm, geometric vector algorithms, and mixed integer linear programming. It also discusses collision detection methods like using the point of closest approach to estimate paths and check separation distances between UAVs.
