Abstract

In this paper we address the problem of avoidancing collisions between an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a rigid surface. The UAV is modelled as an unique sphere envolving the UAV or as multiple spheres only envolving the motors. The UAV flies inside a rigid hyperboloid structure typically used in architecture. The collision is detected by means of the study of the characteristic polynomial associated to quadric surfaces. Computer simulation results included in this paper will show both the accuracy and the low computational cost exhibited by the proposed method.
