title = "Longitudinal motion planning for slung-loads using simplified models and rapidly-exploring random trees",
abstract = "A randomized motion-planning approach to providing guidance for helicopters with under-slung loads is presented. Rapidly-exploring Random Trees are adapted to plan trajectories for simplified helicopter-load models. Four different planning models are tested against four different representative tasks. The poor performance of the baseline planner, and subsequent efforts to improve that performance shows the sensitivity of the RRT to proper sizing of the sampling area and amount of computation available. Further lines of potential research into optimizing planner performance and reducing computational cost are identified.",
