Abstract
Motion steering under kino dynamic constraints is provided. A system can receive an indication to return to a route generated for autonomous navigation by the aircraft to a destination. The system can generate a vector field formed of a plurality of vectors that merge into the route. The vector field can be generated responsive to the indication to return to the route. The system can provide instructions to steer the aircraft toward the destination along the route via one or more vectors of the plurality of vectors in the vector field. The instructions can be based on a cost function applied to the vector field.
