A Framework for Safe Navigation UAS in Urban Areas

Description

Unmanned Aircraft Systems have been recently gaining momentum due to their mission flexibility and low cost. Here, we present a novel framework to plan and execute safe flight missions for Unmanned Aerial Systems in urban areas. The proposed strategy consists of the definition of a risk-based map, constructed from different data sources, and a risk-aware path planning strategy. Simulation results corroborate the proposed approach.
