This paper describes the path smoothing technique for UAV using clothoid curve method. The resultant smooth path is flyable by UAV considering the UAVs kinematic constraint such as minimum turning radius. The solution is divided into two phases. The first phase involves the generation of collision free, piece-wise linear path based on visibility graph method. In the second phase, an algorithm to generate clothoid curve based on Fresnel integral is designed and implemented. The path generated is flyable by the UAV since it has gradual transition between linear segments. Furthermore, the path allows the UAV to pass through the given waypoints. Simulation results are included to illustrate the proposed method.
