Purpose: We consider the problem of route planning of multiple rechargeable heterogeneous UAVs with multiple trips under mission time and payload carrying constraints. The goal is to determine the types and number of UAVs to be deployed and their flying paths that minimizes the monetary cost,...

Purpose This paper aims to tackle the problem for a fully actuated unmanned aerial vehicle (FUAV) to perform physical interaction tasks in the Global Positioning System-denied environments without expensive motion capture system (like VICON) under disturbances. Design/methodology/approach A...
