Abstract :
A four-rotor vertical takeoff and landing aerial robot known as quadrotor has been developed as a platform to validate and test various algorithm suit to the unmanned air vehicles (UAV). A path planning method base on Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT) was developed to generate paths UAV for in real time. The algorithm was experimented on the quadrotor platform and was validated to be efficient.
