What it does

  • Optimizes multicopter trajectories under user-defined state-input constraints.
  • Handles dynamics with nonlinear drag effects.
  • Built on the MINCO sparse trajectory representation.
  • Includes a global trajectory planning example that generates corridors and trajectories in real time.
  • Physical parameters are modifiable in a config file.
  • Provides fast iterative region inflation for corridor generation and non-uniform MINCO modules.
