  • Abstract
    This paper presents a method to generate and follow a smallest weighted path in 3D by quadcopter. A smallest weighted path is obtained using Dijkstra´s algorithm based on terrain information. To follow the generated path we use a Model predictive control that takes constraints on jerks, position and angular acceleration on the quadcopter. Simulation results are presented to validate our approach.
