This paper presents a real-time three-dimensional path planning algorithm for improving autonomous navigation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) operating in completely unknown cluttered environments. The algorithm generates smooth paths consisting of continuous piecewise Bézier curves in real time....
