From naval operations to ocean science missions, the importance of autonomous vehicles is
increasing with the advances in underwater robotics technology. Due to the dynamic and …

Recently, research on path planning for the autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) has
developed rapidly. Heuristic algorithms have been widely used to plan a path for AUV, but …

The authors have been developing an underwater vehicle" Umihico" that autonomously
plans and executes given missions. This paper discusses the problem of finding an optimal …

In order to overcome the limitation of traditional path planning with a single path length, a
multi-objective ant colony algorithm for underwater robot path planning in marine …

In this paper new method of path planning for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in
large-scale underwater environment is presented. The main idea behind this method is to …

An improved algorithm based on bio-inspired neural network is proposed for Autonomous
Underwater Vehicle (AUV) real-time path planning in three-dimensional (3D) environment in …

To solve the problem of global path planning of underwater unmanned vehicles (UUVs) in a
three-dimensional environment, this study examines a fusion algorithm for fish swarm and …

A new UAV path planning method based on ant colony optimization (ACO) is presented. The
target position is considered as the food source which the ants are going to find. The enemy …

An improved ant colony algorithm based grid environment model for global path planning
method for USV was introduced. The main idea of the improved ant colony algorithm was …

This paper proposes an improved standard particle swarm optimization 2011 for
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). A mutation operator with a threshold is introduced …
