This paper studies the problem of generating cooperative feasible paths for formation rendezvous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Cooperative path-planning multi-UAV is mostly a complicated multi-objective optimization with many coupled constraints. In order to satisfy kinematic constraints, i.e., maximum curvature constraint and requirement continuous UAV path, Pythagorean hodograph (PH) curve adopted as parameterized path because its continuity rational intrinsic properties.
