FPGA Implementation of an Evolutionary Algorithm for Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle On-Board Path Planning

In this paper, a hardware-based path planning architecture for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) adaptation is proposed. The architecture aims to provide UAVs with higher autonomy using an application-specific evolutionary algorithm (EA) implemented entirely on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) chi...
