Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been focused on by research
efforts because of their extensive applications in scientific, commercial as well as military …

Mobile robots, including ground robots, underwater robots, and unmanned aerial vehicles,
play an increasingly important role in people's work and lives. Path planning and obstacle …

The autonomous navigation of smart ships needs to meet their huge inertia and obey
existing complex rules. A smart ship has to realise autonomous driving instead of manual …

Docking trajectory planning for unmanned surface vehicles is challenging due to
complicated obstacle-avoidance in the harbor and highly nonlinear motion equations. In this …

It is an effective way to execute a complicated mission by cooperating unmanned vehicles.
This paper focuses on a search-and-track (SAT) mission for an underwater target, and the …

Due to the influence of the complex underwater environment, safety, smoothness, real-time
requirements and poor integrity, the path of autonomous underwater vehicles is mainly …

In this paper, a multilayer path planner (MPP) with global path-planning (GPP), collision
avoidance (CA) and routine correction (RC) for an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) under …

Given the lack of systematic research on bathymetric surveys with multi-beam sonar carried
by autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in unfamiliar waters, this paper proposes a …

Autonomous collision avoidance is a critical technology in intelligent control, which is of
great significance for autonomous navigation and operation of Unmanned Underwater …

This paper focuses on online obstacle avoidance planning for unmanned underwater
vehicles. To improve the autonomous ability and intelligence of obstacle avoidance …
